A fox is a member of any of 27 Species of small Omnivorous Canid s. The animal most commonly called a ''fox'' in the Western world is the Red Fox (''Vulpes vulpes''), although different species of foxes can be found on almost every Continent . The presence of foxes all over the globe has led to their appearance in the Popular Culture and Folklore of many Nation s, Tribe s, and other cultural groups. Fox terminology is different from that used for most canids. Male foxes are known as ''dogs'', ''tods'' or '' Reynard '', females are referred to as ''vixens'', and their young are called ''kits'' or ''cubs'', as well as ''pups''. A group of foxes is a ''skulk''. The eponymous name 'Charlie' is derived from Charles James FOX who was a disliked landowner in the eighteenth century. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS | ||
