Fox Identification
In Tennessee, you can find two distinct fox species: the Red fox and the Gray fox. These timid, nocturnal canines can occasionally be confused with small dogs due to their triangular ears and elongated snouts. The Gray and Red foxes share many similarities, with the primary distinctions lying in their coloration, and the Red fox being a bit larger in size. While they have an omnivorous diet, their primary food source consists of small mammals, although they also include fruits, berries, and plants in their meals.
Problems and Damage
Foxes can play a beneficial role in managing rodent populations. Nonetheless, having a fox frequenting your property can give rise to several concerns. Foxes may, on occasion, disturb or even hunt small pets, and they can also cause harm to landscaping by digging up lawns. Some foxes are carriers of diseases such as rabies and mange, although not all foxes are disease carriers. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention for any scratches or bites resulting from fox interactions. If you have observed a fox on your property, homeowners should supervise their pets while outdoors until the fox can be safely removed.
