Where do Long Eared Kit Fox live?

Long-eared Kit Foxes (Vulpes macrotis) are native to North America and can be found in the southwestern regions of the United States and Mexico. Their habitat includes arid grasslands, shrublands, and desert ecosystems, often in areas with rocky terrain and sparse vegetation. Some regions where they are known to occur include:

Long-eared Kit Foxes prefer open areas for hunting and dens. They rely on burrows for shelter and raising their young, and often utilize burrows created by other animals such as prairie dogs or ground squirrels. These foxes are highly adaptable and have been known to occupy human-altered environments, such as agricultural areas and urban fringes, as long as suitable habitat and prey are present.
