Fox Facts:

Foxes are great night-time predators because their eyes are specially adapted to night vision. Behind the light sensitive cells lies another layer called the tapetum lucidum which reflects light back through the eye. This doubles the intensity of images received by the fox. Their eyes glow green when light is shone into them at night. The fox does not chew its food. Instead it uses its carnassial or shearing teeth to cut the meat into manageable chunks. A fox’s range varies from 10 hectares in cities to over 2000 hectares in rural area.
