Food
Cape foxes are omnivorous, meaning they will eat plants or animals. Although they prefer mainly invertebrates and small mammals such as rodents, they are opportunists and have hunted and eaten reptiles, rabbits, spiders, birds, and young hares. They will also eat eggs, beetle larvea, and carrion, as well as most insects or fruits. And when pushed, they have been able to kill lambs up to three months of age, although this is rare and has little impact.
