This type of fox prefers wooded countryside, often inhabiting mountainous areas. During the breeding season they dig 'earths' or burrows. They eat berries, insects, earthworms, snails, mice, rabbits, game birds and poultry. The fox's tail can grow as long as 1 foot 3 inches, which is almost half the length of its body.
