What is a baby Mississippi red fox?

A baby Mississippi red fox, known as a kit, is the juvenile stage of the Mississippi red fox species, which is a subspecies of the red fox found in the southeastern United States. Kits are born in the spring, usually in litters of 4 to 6, and are characterized by their soft, fluffy fur, which is typically grayish-brown with lighter underparts. They rely on their mother for nourishment and protection during their early weeks, gradually becoming more independent as they grow. As they mature, they develop the distinctive reddish coat of adult red foxes.
