Fox Identification
Tennessee is home to two distinct species of fox: the Red Fox and the Gray Fox. These elusive nocturnal canines can occasionally be confused with small dogs due to their triangular-shaped ears and elongated snout. Both the Gray and Red foxes share many similarities, with the primary distinctions being their coloration and size, as the Red fox is slightly larger.
While foxes are omnivorous, their diet primarily consists of small mammals, though they also consume fruits, berries, and plants.
Problems and Damage
While foxes can be helpful in controlling rodent populations, their presence on your property can lead to various issues. Foxes may disrupt and occasionally pose a threat to small pets, and they can cause damage to your landscaping by digging up lawns. Furthermore, foxes can carry diseases like rabies and mange, though it's important to note that not all foxes are infected. Nevertheless, any scratches or bites from a fox should be promptly treated by a medical professional.
In cases where you've observed a fox around your property, homeowners should consider supervising their pets while they are outside until the fox can be safely removed.
