The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a typical predator, but it has every right to be called an omnivore. It feeds on absolutely everything, from lizards and roe deer fawns to forest berries, grains in fields, and fish scraps in rubbish bins within urban areas.
Studies have found that the red fox's diet across its entire range consists of 400 or possibly even more animal species, including fish and insects, as well as dozens of plants, berries, and fruits. Of course, it will not turn its nose up at dead flesh, or carrion, either. The fox is a very adaptable species in general.
