摘要: We studied feeding patterns of red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) cubs and the distribution their breeding earths in Naliboki Forest (Central Western Belarus) rural surroundings. Red (n = 110) were checked annually 2004–2010, 902 scats prey remains (from 22 litters) collected. The data analysed with respect to litter location interannual dynamics microtine voles. In all landscapes, fed on vole genus Microtus, ungulate carrion, bank (Myodes glareolus Shreb.), various medium-sized mammals birds. semi-natural open primarily ate Microtus voles high selectivity for this type prey. large forest fragments, diet mainly consisted wild carrion. Vixens preferred rear habitats where more abundant, or vicinity. considered abundance these rodent species be most important factor affecting denning site selection by vixens cub feedi...
