Canids
I think we'll start with Corsac Foxes, the cutest animal ever! :)
The Corsac Fox, or Vulpes Corsac, is another member of the genus Vulpes. They can be found in the steppes of Central Asia (I think a steppe is a cold grassland place). The Corsac Fox is threatened by hunting for their fur :(
The mating season for Corsac Foxes starts in January and ends in March. Reynards will fight for vixens, but then they will establish a monogamous bond, which means they mate for life. The vixen will sometimes share a birthing den with other pregnant vixens, but will often move her kits around a bit. After around two months of pregnancy the mother will give birth to around the same many kits as domestic cats do - two to seven, or rarely more. The newborns have fluffy light brown fur and are blind. Their eyes open after around two weeks, and they start to eat meat at about four weeks. They reach sexual maturity (the age when they are able to give birth to their own kits) at the age of nine or ten months.
