The press service of Mospriroda reported that a replenishment in the fox family was recorded in the natural-historical park "Bitsevsky Forest". The age of the babies is about 3 months. They are already coming out of the burrow, exploring the surroundings and even independently foraging.

This year, fox families were also seen in the Ostankino Nature and Historical Park, Kuzminki-Lyublino, Izmailovo, the Teply Stan Landscape Reserve, Troparevsky, and the Forest on the Samorodinka River.

Experts remind that when meeting with foxes, they should not be approached and it is better not to disturb them. At the slightest worry, parents change their place of residence, transferring them to a spare burrow. Moving can have a bad effect on the health of animals.

It is also impossible to feed foxes. If an animal gets out of the habit of foraging on its own and does not teach this to its children, they may not survive afterwards. In addition, the abundance of food, for which there is no need to fight and compete with other individuals, leads to an increase in the population of foxes, which poses a threat to the conservation of other species.

In general, the presence of predators in the natural territories of Moscow indicates a prosperous state of the ecosystem. In particular, this indicates that other links of the ecological pyramid also exist, and their relationship with predators is balanced.
