Default RE: Ever see a fox eat corn? Leaf River Pics

ORIGINAL: Matt / PA

Yeah cool pics.......Gray Fox are omnivorous like a bear, and eat quite a bit of plant food (moreso than a Red Fox) they feed heavily on cottontail rabbits, mice, voles, other small mammals, birds, insects, and much plant material, including corn, apples, persimmons, nuts, cherries, grapes, pokeweed fruit, grass, and blackberries.
Great info Matt. One of the coolest things I've ever had the pleasure to witness in the field was a mama fox teaching her kit to catch grasshoppers. They finally spotted me when I couldn't control my laughter, but it was a great 10 minutes or so!
