Does the red fox live near humans?

Yes, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are known for their adaptability and can live near humans in both rural and urban environments. They are often found near human settlements, including cities, towns, and suburban areas, where they can find shelter and food. Red foxes may take advantage of human-provided resources, such as food scraps, compost piles, and gardens, and they may even den under sheds or in other human-made structures. Their ability to adapt to human-altered landscapes makes them one of the most successful and widespread carnivores in the world.
