Swiss Forest Animals Series - The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes):
The Obverse and Reverse of the 10 Swiss Francs Bimetallic Coin placed against a background image of a Red Fox seen in its natural habitat
The last coin in the Series titled - "Swiss Forest Animals Coin Series" depicts the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) belongs to the family of dog-like predators and is unmistakably similar to both dogs and wolves.
Foxes can be found on almost all continents, and the forest has long since ceased to be their only habitat.
The red fox is known for its twilight and nocturnal forays through the front gardens of big cities. Its eyes can clearly see its surroundings in the dark, by rotating its ears it can locate a squeaking mouse from a distance of more than 100.0 metres and its unique sense of smell is 400 times stronger than ours. These attributes make it an adaptable survivor who likes to rummage around our bins for food.
An adult fox's body is just under 1.0 metre long and can reach a height of up to 50.0 cm due to its relatively short legs. Its modest body weight of 6.0 kg to 7.0 kg is camouflaged by its thick fur.
In January a dog fox looks for a suitable vixen. Female foxes gives birth to 3 to 5 pups after a gestation period of 50 days. During rearing, the male foxes act as providers by bringing food to the den.
In addition to mice, insects and berries, a hare or a young deer are also on the menu.
