Red Foxes Bed In The Open Most Nights

While dens are used for raising young, on all but the most frigid nights Red Foxes will curl up on an elevated surface such as a hummock, rock or stump in an open habitat where they can survey their surroundings, tuck their noses under their tails and bed down for the night.  Their circular bed is roughly a foot in diameter.  When they rest during the day they are much more likely to seek cover in wooded areas.
