How far do foxes move?
A. Foxes usually live in family groups with non-overlapping home ranges. Home range size in Australia varies from 30 hectares in some urban areas to about 500 hectares in alpine areas. The size seems to depend on the availability of food and other important resources such as den sites. Adult foxes rarely travel more than 10 kilometres in a day although under exceptional circumstances, dispersing foxes may move 100 kilometres or more in search of a new territory.
