Picture of Fox In Bathtub

Bath Ritual

Foxes are very clean and they like to wash frequently. They use their front legs to dig a hole in the ground, then step inside and roll around in it until they are completely covered in dirt. Then they shake their fur vigorously to remove any accumulated dirt. Once this step is completed, the foxes rub against bushes or branches to remove any remains of soil that may still be present. Finally, they lick themselves to clean their fur and remove any residue that may have stuck to it.
