Red Foxes at Kilnaish Mountainview & Duror Reserves

Red Fox anybody? filmed at Mountainview, Kilnaish & Duror Reserves 😮 The type of fox found in Scotland is the European fox. It is famed for its eye-catching red fur, white chest and brush-like tail. Foxes are one of the most common mammals in the country. They are territorial creatures, which usually limits the amount you'll find in any given area. Did you know that foxes in the Scottish uplands tend to be larger than the rest of the UK? Most foxes weigh between 12-15lbs and the largest fox ever recorded – found in the Scottish Highlands, weighed a whopping 26lbs! So why are upland foxes larger than lowland foxes? In higher latitudes like Scotland and Scandinavia we have long winter nights (foxes are primarily nocturnal), allowing a longer hunting period. If a fox can hunt more they will inevitably catch more and thus grow larger.
