Did you know Red Foxes have 170 bones!? The skull of a fox is said to be smoother and shiner than the skull of a deer or rabbit. "Foxes have flat skulls and their bone structures are like most small to mid-size mammals, having pelvic bones, finger bones, and vertebrae." (Fox, 2016)

"The red fox is a very slenderly boned canine. Its limb bones in particular are much smaller in diameter relative to their length than any other canine species... The red fox is between 35 and 40 inches long with one third of its length being its tail. The tails always have a white tip regardless of the overall color of the coat... Foxes can hold up to one kilogram of flesh in their stomachs. They have short intestines (characteristic of most predators) through which the rapidly digested, nutrient rich food materials are quickly passed (food begins to show up in the feces within five to ten hours)." (Vulpes vulpes, n.d.)
