Details
Vulpes bengalensis, commonly known as the Bengal fox, is a species of fox widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia. They are known for their strong adaptability and diverse habitats. This fox usually lives in dry grasslands, bushes and farmlands. The Bengal fox is relatively small in size, generally weighing between 2 and 4 kg, with a long, fluffy tail and pointed ears. They mainly feed on small mammals, birds and insects and are omnivorous animals. In addition, the breeding season of the Bengal fox is usually in winter, and the female fox can give birth to 3 to 6 cubs each time. Due to the destruction of the habitat and the impact of human activities, the number of Bengal foxes is threatened, and it is particularly important to protect their habitat.
