Fuchs

Why do foxes need darkness? Foxes are crepuscular and nocturnal animals. This means they are primarily active in the early morning hours, at dusk, and during the night. They feel safe in the dark and can hunt undisturbed. Their sharp senses, excellent hearing, and keen sense of smell are perfectly adapted to nighttime conditions. The bright moonlight or the stars are sufficient for them to orient themselves and find prey such as mice, rabbits, or insects.
The natural night not only provides the fox with shelter and food, but also the opportunity to mark its territory, explore, and socialize. Without the darkness of night, the fox would be forced to shift its activities to daytime, which would bring it into conflict with humans and other animals. Furthermore, the fox's natural rhythm would be disrupted.
Foxes also live in cities – because it's convenient and safe. To find food in the forest or fields, foxes have to roam larger areas than in the city. There, there are rats and mice, as well as garbage baskets or carelessly discarded food scraps, compost, or pet food bowls.
Hiding places include parks, industrial areas, cemeteries, gardens, etc. He doesn't have to be afraid of hunters either, because hunting is prohibited in the city.
