Are foxes good or bad?
Having a fox in your yard isn’t always bad—they help control rodents and pests—but it can quickly become a problem if they threaten pets or settle too close to your home. Foxes can make a variation of screams, barks, and howls that can range from high pitched tones to lower tones to communicate different things. Researchers have found that foxes are the first animals in the world to use the earth’s magnetic fields to judge the distance and direction of their prey.
When to worry about a fox?
However, if the animal shows signs of rabies -such as aggression, stumbling or foaming at the mouth-call your local animal control. Fox attacks on people, including children, are rare. While it is in a fox’s nature to be curious, and even bold sometimes, they are not aggressive. But as some scientists say, these are the worst traits that are not desirable in our pets. The fox is cunning, strong, disobedient and stubborn, which is why many people can be irritated by this. However, these are the characteristics that allow it to survive in the wild.
