Can I own an Arctic fox in Michigan?
Foxes that are not native to the state are considered exotic and do not require a permit to hold wildlife in captivity. This includes arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus), swift foxes (Vulpes velox), fennec foxes (Vulpes zerda), bat-eared foxes (Otocyon megalotis), et cetera.
Why do foxes scream in August?
In late August and September fox cubs leave their dens and prepare to find new territories of their own. Vixens (female foxes) may be heard calling loudly as they lose control of their cubs, and the cubs may be heard squabbling over food and rights to new territories.
