However, it is more adapted to desert life than its parent species. The fox's ears are much larger, and its body is much smaller than that of the red fox.[2] The Arabian red fox also has fur between its toes, to prevent burning of the feet. It is brownish pale red in color and approximately 2.7 kg (6 lbs) in weight.[3] This fox is a mostly solitary animal, but may form loosely-knit social groups of a few individuals. They are nomadic, temporarily occupying defined home ranges. Its diet consists of rodents, birds, and fish as well as some desert vegetation or even carrion. They are most active at night. The small foxes open the eyes after 10 days from birth. Arabian foxes live in various environments, including mountains, coasts, deserts, and cities.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite book|first1=José R.|last1=Castelló|title=Canids of the World: Wolves, Wild Dogs, Foxes, Jackals, Coyotes, and Their Relatives|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=islgDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA238|publisher=Princeton University Press|date=2018|isbn=9780691185415|pages=238-239 |via=Google Books}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q2117758}}2. ^{{cite web |title=Arabian Red Fox |url=http://www.arabianwildlife.com/nature/mammal/mam08.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090226195601/http://www.arabianwildlife.com/nature/mammal/mam08.html |archive-date=26 February 2009 |website=Arabian Wildlife Magazine on-line |publisher=Trident Press}} 3. ^{{cite book|first1=Peter|last1=Hellyer|title=The Emirates: A Natural History|url=http://www.uaeinteract.com/uaeint_misc/teanh/025tmam.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320090719/http://www.uaeinteract.com/uaeint_misc/teanh/025tmam.pdf |archive-date=20 March 2012|pages=311 |publisher=Trident Press|date=2005 |isbn=9781905486021}} 5 : Vulpes|Fauna of Jordan|Mammals of the Arabian Peninsula|Mammals of the Middle East|Fauna of Syria |
