Fox Curled Up in Autumn Leaves Coloring Page

A fluffy fox is curled up fast asleep in the center of a wreath-like pile of autumn leaves, its bushy tail tucked around its nose, while more leaves of different shapes and a few acorns float around it on the pure white background.

Red foxes are found on every continent except Antarctica, making them one of the most widespread mammals on Earth. Foxes do not hibernate in winter, but they do spend more time resting and sleeping during very cold or stormy weather. A curled-up sleeping position helps conserve body heat — the fox wraps its bushy tail around itself like a blanket to keep warm. Autumn is a busy season for foxes as they build up fat reserves and cache food for winter.

Coloring ideas: red foxes have a characteristic orange-red coat with a white chin, chest, and tail tip, and black legs and ears. This image captures a beautifully coiled pose — color the outer fur a warm reddish-orange and the belly and tail tip white. The surrounding leaves can be every shade of autumn: deep red maples, burnt orange oaks, golden birch leaves, and rich brown leaves in the pile beneath the fox.

Younger kids can simply color the fox orange and the leaves yellow and red for a cheerful autumn palette. Older kids can add subtle warmth by making the fox slightly darker on its back and lighter on its sides, suggesting the curve of its curled body.
