Information
The Kit Fox lives in North America and in Canada. They have unusually large ears, traction on sand, a long nose, and a long bushy tail. Their coloring varies from a tan to gray back that changes to a buff orange at the shoulders, sides, flanks, and chest. They have leather padded soles and a full set of teeth. Their canine teeth are very sharp to back up their carnivorous appetites. http://file:///E:/7 Animals/index.htm
Kit Fox
The kit is clever, quick and strong. They are playful, powerful, and knowing. Sometimes curious, but cautious too. Act on impulse am feisty and proud. I will not be sold by pain nor sorrow. I am the kit fox, mischievous and strong. I hide from men who do me wrong.
