This page talks about the different kinds of animals that you would find roaming in the prairie.
If you ever see animals roaming around don't hurt them, or the environment around them.
FoxesIn the wild, foxes can live for up to 10 years, but most foxes only live for 2 to 3 years due to hunting, road accidents and diseases. Male foxes) weigh on average, 13 lb) and female foxes) weigh less, at around 11.5 lb). Fox-like features typically include a distinctive muzzle (a "fox face") and bushy tail. Other physical characteristics vary according to habitat.Foxes have an average litter of four to five, with eleven as maximum.
Typically, they live in small family groups, and are opportunistic feeders that hunt live prey (especially rodents). Using a pouncing technique practiced from an early age, they are usually able to kill their prey quickly. Foxes also gather a wide variety of other foods ranging from grasshoppers to fruit and berries. Foxes are normally extremely wary of humans and are not usually kept as indoor pets. This selective breeding also resulted in physical and behavioral traits appearing that are like pigmentation changes, floppy ears, and curly tails. |
RabbitsRabbit habitats include meadows, woods, forests, grasslands, deserts and wetlands. Rabbits live in groups, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in underground burrows, or rabbit holes.
