I belong to the class of Mammalia and resemble dogs and coyotes with my sharp canine teeth. I am known the world over as ‘Common Fox‛. I have a family and would like to tell you about our home, food, life, and character.
We survive in areas such as mountains, forests, deserts, cold and dry places, farmlands and even in cities and towns.
We are found mostly in Asia, Europe, North America, North Africa, and Australia.

We are found mostly in Asia, Europe, North America, North Africa, and Australia.
My dad is referred to as ‘dog‛ and my mom, as ‘vixen‛. My brothers and sisters are called cubs/pups/kits. We are the largest species of the Vulpes.
We have binocular vision, we have excellent hearing and can detect the squeaking of mice about a hundred meters away.
Our forepaws have five digits while our hindfeet have only four.
We are omnivores by nature, my family and I enjoy feeding on animals like small rodents, rabbits, squirrels, game birds‛ reptiles, domestic poultry, vegetables, and also fruits and berries in Autumn.
We hunt even if we are not hungry and store the extra food in ‘cache‛ sites. Territories and caches are marked with urine. We are possessive and will guard our prey and food even from enemies.

We have orange-red fur on our back, side and head and white fur under our neck and chest. We have long and bushy tails that are more than half the length of our bodies and the tip is fluffy and white. We have pointed black ears, legs and feet. Our average weight is 2.2 to 14 kgs or 4.8 to 30 pounds.
Our communication is mostly through sound and body movement. Our vocal range is wide and we can produce different sounds. They can be divided into contact calls and interaction calls. We use sound and body gestures to attract and catch prey and also to attract mates.
We have competitors and predators in wolves, coyotes, golden jackals, eagles and Eurasian eagle owls. We are hunted even now as pests and killed for our fur.
I would say that no matter how sly or invasive you think we are, our existence is needed for the survival of all species and we are proud of who we are.

Dear Customer:
For nearly 40 years, Wild Republic’s mission has been to create toys that foster curiosity about wildlife and educate children about the wonders of nature. As a company committed to nature and conservation, Wild Republic strives not only to produce better toys for children, but also to create a world that is filled with compassion, responsibility and understanding.
We recently learned that certain replaceable coin batteries can cause severe internal injuries when the batteries are ingested. The batteries also present a choking hazard to children.
Replaceable coin batteries are a component in certain Wild Republic slap watches. A list of affected slap watches is attached. We have not had a single incident involving our slap watch products. We are devoted to meeting the strictest safety requirements and have therefore made the decision to immediately discontinue the sale of our slap watch products and institute a global voluntary recall of our slap watches.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and we are committed to making this process as easy as possible by providing the following solutions:
Return and Replace.
Consumers: www.wildrepublic.com
Customers: www.b2b.wildrepublic.com
Again, we recognize that this is an inconvenience to you and offer our sincerest apology. As a company that is committed to the safety of our customers, we believe that a voluntary recall is the right thing to do.
Thank you again for your understanding in this matter and for your continued loyalty.
Sincerely,
Wild Republic Quality Team
