During the summer this fox lives on a pass high up in the Alps. A fox is not suitable as a pet. It is usually very shy, although in some circumstances it can learn begging- behavior. And that is clearly the case with this one, which gives me the opportunity to study him at ease. Every day a fox must take about 500 grams of food. Its prey are e.g. mice and other rodents, rabbits, hares, hedgehogs, birds and eggs, but also large beetles and earthworms. It feeds on fruits and berries (especially blackberries) as well as carrion and waste. So the fox is an omnivore, on this spot it scratches up a dinner from the scraps of food left by tourists.
