Fox is licking up water that it is drinking from a freshwater river in its natural animal habitat!

A female red fox known as a vixen is licking up water with her tongue that she is drinking from a freshwater river in her natural habitat that supports many wild animals. This vixen is also a mother fox, and she has taken a break from caring for her baby foxes that are denning in the forest beside the river. The red fox is a carnivorous meat-eating canine mammal animal predator that hunts other animals when it is feeding and dining; they are carnivores with excellent hunting skills for catching a large variety of animals, including birds and other smaller mammals. Their keen eyesight and hearing help them achieve the necessary amount of successful pounce and attack animal prey hunts; although the red foxes are predators, they will occasionally eat different plants and fruit and grains when foraging nutritional food to add to their predatorial meat-eater diets. A female red fox is known as a vixen, and a male red fox is known as a dog fox; a fox baby is known as a kit or cub.
