About the Bengal Fox
The Bengal Fox (Vulpes bengalensis), commonly called the Indian Fox, is a small fox native to the Indian subcontinent. It is adapted to open and relatively dry environments and can be found across a variety of grassland, scrub and semi-arid landscapes.
Unlike foxes associated primarily with dense forests, the Bengal Fox is well suited to open country where it can search for insects, rodents, reptiles and other small prey. Fruits and other food resources may also form part of its diet. Government wildlife documentation describes the species as preferring semi-arid, flat to undulating terrain, scrub and grassland habitats.
The Bengal Fox is currently classified as Least Concern (LC) globally.
