# Foxes

Foxes are animals like dogs. They eat nesting birds and other small animals. If foxes are unknown in your area, use a general term for dog-like creatures or other furry animals. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])

# holes

Foxes make holes in the ground to live in. Use the appropriate word for the place where the animal you use for "foxes" lives.
