Fox Identification
In Tennessee, there are two distinct fox species which include the Red fox and the Gray fox. These cautious and primarily nocturnal members of the canine family might occasionally resemble small dogs due to their pointed triangular ears and elongated snouts. The Gray and Red fox share remarkable similarities, differing mainly in their coloration, and the Red fox being a tad larger. While they have an omnivorous diet, they predominantly consume small mammals, supplemented by fruits, berries, and plants.
Problems and Damage
Foxes can indeed play a positive role in managing rodent populations, yet their presence on your property can lead to several challenges. While they contribute to rodent control, there are potential issues associated with their presence. Foxes might disrupt and occasionally hunt small pets, in addition to causing damage by digging up lawns and affecting landscaping. It's worth noting that while some foxes carry diseases like rabies and mange, not all of them do. However, any scratches or bites from foxes should be promptly addressed by a medical professional. If you've find a fox on your property, it's advisable for homeowners to supervise their pets while they're outdoors until the fox is safely removed.
