Foxes is one of my favorite animals
@@aubriepresby3648 yes, they do have a raw deal. They unfortunately are not big and strong enough to hold their own against large predators.
You are wrong on some points.
In my area there's an abundance of foxes, which is handy for helping to keep the rat population in check.
The Red fox has been moving north and are eating the Arctic Fox.
Mon the gingers
I feed them dog food with antifreeze they love it
@@tyronealaka6537 you should try it yourself too! Yummy :*
NYC needs some foxes lol
We see more foxes and coyotes not because of them losing habitat, but because they’re learning how to live with us more. Almost no predators for them, lots of rats, garbage etc…. And despite trapping and shooting, their numbers are huge. So many sometimes that those diseases you mentioned, like mange, are because there are too many.
Wow this channel is really good Ima sub right now
Thank you!
No problem I btw I have an idea why don’t you make a video on how savage and inhumane fox hunters and their hounds are (btw I’m not being sarcastic no offense and you have an impeccable channel)
Very informative. Love it!
Thank you Angela! We love foxes!
I love foxses so so much EEEEEE eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww
Eagles hunt at night like Owls?
Wow man. Eagles are diurnal! They absolutely do not hunt at night. Smdh.
Info off. Hated it! Stopped watching soon as this false info was spit. 😑
@@clavongrams8406 You missed the Cheetah portrayed as a Leopard.
There's lots of bad info in this video
Killer video!!
Thanks! I tried to make it as informative as possible
Great information
A Mountain Lion is also known as a Cougar, it depends on what part of the Country you live in.
You also find cougar in bars
I SUBBED CUZ THIS TH-cam CHANNEL LEARNS ABOUT FOXES AND I LOVE FOXES
Thank you! We plan to add a lot more content. We love foxes tooooooo.
Just FYI, at 4:13, that is a Cheetah, not a Leopard - big difference. Cheetahs are NOT powerful cats, they're actually quite fragile.
Yes I spotted the Cheetah.
I was about to say the same thing.
I'm always surprised by people who can't tell the difference between cheetahs and leopards.
@@lonelyboy1977 Spot the difference, Leopards have rosette spots, Cheetahs have solid spots.
Yeah really! It's almost difficult to confuse the two.
Only thing similar is they're both cats and have spots.
The cheetah has a more dog like physique even having feet a lot like a dog.
(No long-toed hand like paws with retractable claws).
4:12 Not a leopard, but a cheetah.
Yep it is a cheetah
I like the cheetahs
Thanks. ✌🏻👊
2:48 “mountain lions have been known to make a meal out of a fox.” this cracked me up as soon as i heard it 😂 i think is the guy’s entonation or sumthin 😂
I have multiple eagles pick up Teal shot which drifted into grass and were not drifting off as to not disturb spread set up
Poor little foxes must have a hard time just trying to survive.
No. Their numbers are booming in the UK due to so many people feeding them. This is why we need Lynx and wolves back in order to hunt some of the foxes and reduce their numbers at its a huge problem for rare/endangered ground birds.
@@theotheseaeagle London needs wolf packs and lynx colonies-not only for the foxes, but also for the plague of cats and dogs, too
@@prosodiclearning please tell me your joking
@@theotheseaeagle I am joking , of course, Theo
Poor little foxes???
Save your sentiments for rabbits 🐇 who are hunted by " practicly the whole world "
The Fox is a deadly predator and experts at avoiding being the prey.
"Carpe" means to seize/grasp
"Raptor" means plunderer/ to steal
I'm sad about the owls because foxes and owls are my favorite animals
You should make a channel for every animal! This channel is very well made! Good job!
Thank you Ben!
Lynx is another fox predator. There is also a video of a badger digging out fox pups for dinner.
Often times kits are protected with fencing if they are endangered.
I remember the foxes that were endangered and fenced behind our house in Colorado
*0:52* "Much like eagles, owls hunt at night."
While eagles are adept at hunting in low light conditions, they typically avoid hunting at *night.*
There are a few reasons for this;
First, eagles have excellent eyesight, but their vision is not as sharp in the dark. For a bird to have good night vision, it must have tubular-shaped eyes and binocular vision.
Study the eagles eye size, shape and placement. Their eyes are not optimal for night hunting.
Now compare them with the owl's overall eye structure and placement.
Also notice the overall differences between how an eagle is built, body and wing construction, and those of owls.
*Can you spot all the differences?*
Second, eagles and other diurnal soaring birds of prey, are masters of day hunting. Eagles rely on thermal currents to help them stay aloft, and these currents are weaker at night.
Owls don't generally soar during the day. They _have_ been known to hunt during the day under certain conditions. They are drop down ambush hunters, typically from a high perch overlooking game trails, water sources etc. Owls exploit their excellent 'night vision' and hearing to locate prey, and are the nocturnal avian masters of night hunting. They have very large eardrums.
I'm surprised that the Lynx, and the American Alligator weren't on the list, as well. And possibly the Wild Boar (at least the foxes carcass).
Would think a wild boar would have a hard time catching a fox. Not really good ambush hunters either. But a Lynx will kill a fox just because they often compete for the same prey.
The lynx is called a bob cat in most other areas of the world so it is included. Even a small young bob cat can kill a fox. I dont know the estimate anymore but ive read a long time ago in a research about predators that normally for a cat to lose a fight it's opponent needs to be 25-30% bigger and stronger, cats are just badass creations xD. Bears are too, even more rugged. It's crazy but theres trailcams of feral house cats who fights off adult raccoons and raccoons avoiding a confrontation even with a small cat, just a nazty animal.
Fox are adorable. I love fox. 😥
I often wonder why we don't call "big cat" instead of bobcat, and "bearine" instead of wolverine...
Because a bobcat is actually not considered a big cat. True story.
My neighborhood had plenty of foxes then the coyotes moved in & the foxes disappeared. Only seen one fox in the pass year or so. When they use to be seen once or twice a month.
2:09 *fox sees a coyote sigh* fox NOPE bye I am going the other way
Good🙏🙏🙏😄😄
Hard to survive with a quick beast. A lot of competition to survive
Yes
The patient mouse eats the fox.
The eagle hunts in the daylight. The owl is also a silent flyer. You won't know what hit you.
4:15 that's a cheetah not a leopard .
You forgot about Australian dingoes, and polar bears. Also the Highland Haggis is a Scottish predator of foxes over here in Scotland.
Wolverine is NOT the largest species of weasel, that would be the giant river otter. Maybe you meant North America? Interesting video.
My source was from a national geographic article, it didn't mention that it was just in North America. I didn't know that giant river otters got that big! Thanks for the input.
Well the largest terrestrial mustelid is the wolverine
The wolverine is not a weasel at all.
@Indy Reno yes it is. Shut up geek
I saw a cheetah in the leopard section of the video. Ooops!
A python in the everglades. :-P
Eagles hunt at night? I thought owls evolved to be nocturnal largely to avoid eagles during the day.
Eagles hunt in daylight. This video is moronic
Exactly,,,just found that out on animalogic.
Bobcat's show up and you won't see the Fox's anymore!
I love Lynx's,leperd's,mountain lions,wolve's,foxe's, and coyote's
Agree but not everything u said
I doubt if they love you
Wolves will often tolerate a coyote hanging around on the outskirts but they don't like to. If coyote keeps ignoring a wolf's demand to leave then it is playing with fire. Occasionally the wolf won't be just bluffing and will chase it and kill it in about three seconds time after catching it. Saw it on a video.
No wolf is catching any Healthy self aware Coyote on ground unless its in the Winter where the wolves have better footing then the Coyote. Reality. Wolves NEVER tolerate a Coyote, EVER! They just know that they can't catch em most of the time so any chasing is a waste of energy, unless its Winter and there is lots of snow on the ground. The tables turn.
Exactly
Most of those live in my backyard. ☺️
this is where you live too. Your ass is next.
Thought you would have footage G
Lynx and fishers can certainly take a fox
I looooooooooooooooooove foxes they are the best
Regards to Red.
In England the biggest killer of Red Foxes are splattered in the road whilst crossing over busy roads. Road kill.
Yeah being a fox sounds hard
Here's 3 honorable mentions: crocodiles, wild boars, and tigers.
🐊 Though they are probably not in the same territory as today. Historically red foxes were once widespread across North America, Europe, and Asia, even in areas were crocodilians such as crocodiles and alligators still roam to this day. Though they're are no crocodiles in Europe and Japan, they did once exist during the stone age. Since crocodiles are ambush predators who hide underwater to catch prey, an unlucky fox was probably eaten by the large reptile when it's about to get a drink.
🐗 Wild Boars may not traditionally be predators however they are extremely aggressive and territorial that they will hunt and kill anything that walks into their territories. Though they mostly eat vegetation, they have been known to eat carcasses along with eating smaller animals. Wild boars have likely killed foxes who accidentally walked into their territories and were unlucky to escape from those razor sharp tusks.
🐅 Tigers are the largest and strongest big cats who rule throughout Asia from the rainforests of India & Southeast Asia to the Northern wilderness of Korea and Siberia. Though this large cats prefer bigger prey, they will hunt after smaller prey if they have to. Foxes are more than likely on the tiger's menu, but most likely as a snack.
Most comments say owl hunts at night. Where I hunt owls work their way up the hollow twice a day. 1 to 12 owl comes through an no squirrel is safe.
Lots can be learned from a deer blind.
4:04 "Leopard"
4:14 *proceeds to show a Cheetah.
Oof my foxes better watch out there been a owl living near as well as black bear
Coyotes eat fox. I used to have fox and turkeys on my property and both disappeared when I started seeing coyotes.
You can add Fisher Cats to that list.
In rare cases, white tail deer population with devour foxes.
I’m Pretty sure that eagles hunt during the day and owls hunt at night
You are correct. I don't know of any species of eagle at homestead night. As a matter of fact I don't believe their eyesight can see in the dark.
Yeah that’s what I thought they’ve got incredible eyesight but it is optimised for daytime
No wonder why foxes are hard to find!
Fishers love fox also
I just wanted to say although they aren’t really their predators Eurasian badgers are a foxes primary competitor and can seriously injure a fox. Where ever there’s a badger sett there’s never any foxes
Very true, I added badgers to the updated video that I updated this week.
@@AllThingsFoxes ah ok
Eagle: Highly uncommon if ever
Owl: Extremely uncommon, usually attempt to chase them out of their territory
Wolves: As he says
Coyote: As he says
Mountain Lion/Cougar: Hell, even YOU"RE on the menu
Bobcats: See "Eagle"
Leopard: See "Mountain Lion"
Bears: Sure, If they can catch them also see "Mountain Lion & Leopard"
Wolverine: Will prey on fox kits and mom who tries to defend them and fails, do not actively hunt Foxes
Foxes: See Wolverine
Thanks for your input.
My neighbor had their full grown miniature dachshund taken out of their yard by an Owl (We live on Owl Creek Rd.) The dog returned the next day TORE TO HELL. I had a wiener dog once and based on how he hated to have his nails trimmed I can't imagine how pissed off one would get if you tried to eat it.
I think that human is number 1.
Anaconda, python, boa all agree foxes are tasty...they also love eating eagles!
4:12 is not a leopard. It's a cheetah.
Bobcats
Domestic dogs kill foxes too, not sure if that is in this video or not. A large bobcat will kill fox, but the smaller bobcats won't unless the fox is little.
So a pack of 🐺 will attack a 🦊? That's Nucking Futs!
Great, EVERYONE is trying to put me into a coffin
You forgot Tigers and Lions? 🐯🦁
12 badgers 13 Fishers
No7 You showed a walking Cheetah instead of a walking Leopard 🐆 🤣
If I see another video that shows me a cheetah while talking about leopards (or visaversa) I'm gonna flip.
I think it's awesome that you added humans to the mix. Humans destroy a lot in the sake of building condos and parking lots.
Think about what you are implying. You have a house instead of a cave, a car instead of a mule, a grocery store instead of 14 hour farm days, and a computer instead of smoke signals. Let me know when you wish to change those. Outer Mongolia is waiting.
Those hardly even affect foxes as they can adapt to any environment which is what makes them such a problem for some bird species in the UK such as grey partridge which are in decline.
Hi plz make a video about stuff that foxes eat
Hey Tyler, I'm working on one right now actually. I'm also updating a blog article about what they eat, with a full complete guide/resource for what foxes eat in the wild and formulated diet plans for pet foxes. Stay tuned!
how do you not know
what does foxes eat?
It’s bloody hard eating Fox but it’s bloody hard not eating at all.
what they eat? my shoes, put them in the garden outside last night.
The biggest killer of foxes is ….. CARS!
Eagles mainly eat other birds. Not really. Bald Eagles will but prefer fish. Golden Eagles actually specialize in mammals up to the size of deer fawns so foxes are definitely on their menu. One of the leopards that were shown was a cheetah.
To address the question, several things. Bigger dogs, like coyotes and wolves. Bigger kitty cats, like pumas.

Cyoty, eagle, wolf Wolverine Bear, didn't know about had no idea leopard was any where but Africa owels lynx bobcat puma
#12 Fisher-Cats
You forgot the greater lesser saber tooth finch.
I want to own a fox one day. I love them.
They are a huge responsibility, but they are also lovable!
Same here
Yeah I want to own fox to.
After u own the fox u can't own the chikens
If you truly love them...then LEAVE THEM ALONE!
Their natural fear of man is instrumental in keeping them from extinction.
One of your leopard pictures was a cheetah…
Most of the foxes I see around my are a pretty large. I think it would have to be a bigger predator to prey on one.
Birds and even small bobs and some lynx’ can take out critters pretty big
People don't realize birds of prey are strong as fuck. The grip they have with their talons is nothing to sneeze at, not to mention their hooked beaks can gorge out eyes
All things foxes I have I question for you. Eagle used to hunt human baby
In Australia, crocodiles, pythons, dingoes (pure or impure, they're all dingoes) and eagles hunt foxes. American dingoes also hunt red foxes in the Southeast United States.
What are American dingoes?
@@malachiwhite356Carolina dogs or American dingoes are North America's own version of the dingo and their only wild dog, about 5,500 years older than the Australian dingo.
@@royhay5741 Interesting. Thank you.
@@malachiwhite356 you're welcome
I agree with the list, but specific types of humans, as portrayed in the clip, should be at number #1.
Number11: humans
Chinese: 😳👉👈
Fox does taste good
anything that likes the taste !
I have, yet to see a fox in their inhabitants of the forest.
Pretty sure my canines would make a meal of them; lord knows they have killed enough coyotes around my property.
I’ve seen domestic cats eat fox pups and bobcats hunt the adults
4:11 Leopard
Any predator that is bigger and that can out fox it. Coyote, wolf, bear? depends the the foxes age and health.. obviously.
12. dogs
13. alligators
14. domestic and feral cats
15. snakes
Crocodiles in South Florida
1:50. O. humans don't kill each other. 🤦 Sometimes they even eat each other. 😯 4:13 Cheetah. 🤪
4.14 cheetah
You do know that is a cheetah at 4:14
London? Motorway traffic.
