As Red Fox become more common in urban and suburban settings, you are more and more likely to see one. But at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center you can see one every day in our Red Fox exhibit. We actually have two, one of each color. Some Red Fox are actually not red at all but black with white-tipped hairs. This is called the Silver-tipped variety or Black phase of the Red Fox.
You will probably smell our fox before you see them as they scent mark their territory with a very skunk-smelling substance. You can visit our outdoor animal exhibits 7 days a week from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
