When you see a Coyote or Fox during the day – does that mean he is rabid or sick? ............... It is actually not unusual to see a coyote or fox out during the day................ Coyotes and Foxes will venture out during daylight hours in search of food................ Both animals are opportunistic feeders, hunting for food as the opportunity presents itself – regardless of day or night............. Additionally, both coyotes and foxes eat squirrels, and squirrels are only active during the day............. In areas with little or no human activity, Coyotes will hunt during the day, and when a litter of pups needs to be fed(pups born once a year in April or early May), they may have to hunt around the clock to feed their growing family



IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE

    Rick: In addition to foxes being out/seen during the day sometimes it's for other reasons than food. During the day they tend to nap, more than go into prolonged sleep as we do so they are up and about. In addition, they often are seen out when they are moving to a new nap-site. Overall, when they have a large litter, the foxes do put in extra time hunting.
