Beschreibung
The Spotlight series introduces readers to the lives and behaviour of favourite animals through striking colour photography and informative expert text. Hero or villain? Few animals divide opinion like the Red Fox. The most successful of the world’s wild canids, it has lived alongside people since time immemorial. Some admire its resourcefulness and luxuriant coat, while others condemn it for raiding chicken runs and overturning bins; it has become deeply embedded in Western culture. Behind the folklore and tabloid headlines lies a remarkable natural-history success story. In this book, Mike Unwin explores how the Red Fox’s versatility has enabled it to thrive across the northern hemisphere, from deserts and mountains to farmland and urban jungles. The book covers every aspect of the Red Fox’s biology and lifestyle, including hunting and catching food, defending a territory, raising a litter and communicating. It also examines the complex and often troubled relationship the fox has enjoyed and endured with humankind, and considers what the future might hold.
