Red foxes are very intelligent. The need to use their intelligence in order to get their food. For example, the play dead so its dinner would on land on him/her, such as a crow. They also eat fruit, insects, dead animals, human garbage---almost everything. They must daily consume two pounds of food. To eat this two pounds of food they have 42 teeth.
Aside from their intelligence they have very strong senses. These sense consist of smell, sight, hearing, etc.
Some red foxes look like cats, but they’re really in the dog family. Sadly, most wild foxes die before they’re a year old because of hunting.

Two types of energies are potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy of position. Kinetic energy is energy of motion. One example of potential and kinetic energy is a model roller coaster. this will show where the most potential and most kinetic energy is. When the roller coaster's car is at the top of the hill, there is the most potential energy; at the bottom of the hill, when the car is just about to hit the ground, there is more kinetic energy.
