Where Does a Fox Live? Explaining Fox Habitats for 10-Year-Olds

A fox is a small, wild animal that often lives in a hole called a den. This hole is dug in the ground, and it provides the fox with a safe place to rest, sleep, and take care of its babies.

Foxes choose to live in these holes for many reasons:

• Protection: The hole keeps the fox safe from bigger animals that might want to hurt it.
• Warmth: The underground home helps the fox stay warm during cold weather.
• Raising Babies: The den is a quiet and hidden spot where the mother fox can have her puppies and keep them safe until they grow up.

So, when you hear that the fox lives in a hole dug in the ground, it means the fox has its own little house underground, which helps it survive and take care of its family.
