NOCTURNAL ENCOUNTERS BETWEEN KIT FOXES [PDF]
Abstract Kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis) are nocturnal, monogamous, and territorial. We used telemetry to monitor nocturnal interactions of pair members with each other and neighboring foxes in central California during 1989–1991. Observed distances between mated foxes consistently were closer than expected by chance.
