014 - February: Prepping for parenthood

The second of the series exploring what foxes are up to in each month of the year. A vulpine calendar of events, if you will.

FEBRUARY - With the mating season over, the vixen is now starting her 53-day pregnancy and will be busy finalising the location and preparation of her den before the cubs are born. The male foxes, on the other hand, will be taking the month off as they don't have much to do until March. What about the high-pitched screaming though? Does that increase or decrease this month?

Listen to this episode to hear about what's going on in February in the world of urban foxes and see if it relates to what you've been observing in your garden this month.
