, Carlson said. Less of their habitat was damaged by the Dixie fire, but they’re continuing to use parts that did burn.
“If the parents survived, there’s a good chance that the pups — most of the pups — survived and did not perish as a result of the Dixie fire,” she said. “They’re pretty resilient as far as being able to adapt to wildfire,” Carlson said of the foxes. “Now, if we continue to have catastrophic wildfires like this, that might be another story.
Despite their name, the foxes aren’t always red. Some are black, and others are a tawny brown. Dense fur grows on the bottom of their feet, allowing them to trek across deep snowpack “almost like snowshoes,” Adkins said. Dwelling at elevations as high as 10,000 feet in the summer and 5,000 feet in the winter, they are active year-round, feeding on small mammals and sometimes insects and berries.
