Foxes

What Foxes Are
Foxes are wild animals that are like dogs.
What Foxes Look Like
Foxes have gingered coloured fur and long tails. They have small legs and long bodies. They have small fluffy ears and a short necks. 
Where Foxes Live
Foxes live in countries, such as  Australia, Philippines, China, America, Greenland and Japan.


What Foxes Eat
Foxes eat birds, rabbit, mice, earthworms, insects, eggs and fruit. They eat chickens too. Foxes will sometimes chase their food, like a rabbit or a mouse. Whichever one it  chooses to chase, it will lie down and wait for it to come. When it spots one, it will sneak up behind it then it will pounce on it.
Cubs
When it is time for the vixen to have her cubs, she will spread leaves and bits of hair all around the floor of the den to make a warm bed. When the cubs are born, they keep their eyes closed for ten days then they will open their eyes.
Foxes' Dangers

Some of the foxes' dangers are a golden eagle, bobcat, snakes, bears, the red tail hawk, wolves, the rough legged hawk and, the worst one of all, humans.

Healthy Breakfast


Today I learnt about eating healthy cereals. Healthy cereals are All Bran, Fibre Life, porridge and Weetbix. When you go shopping for cereals, you should look at the side of the box to see if it has less than 15 grams of sugar, less than 10 grams of fat and more than 5 grams of fibre. You should always eat a healthy breakfast. If you want to have a bit of sweetness in your cereal, you can add some fruit. Don’t  have Cocopops because they have  36.5 grams of sugar and they only have 1.2 grams of fibre. If you don’t have enough fibre in your spaghetti, you could have some wholemeal toast. Also if you want some more fibre in your cornflakes, you can add fruit to have more fibre in your body.
