Just under 3% of Texas' land area is covered in surface water, but don't let that fool you. Texas' waterways are full of life - from fish, to salamanders, to turtles and sharks, and even humans. In the spring and summer, you can find Texans passing the time on our state's waterways through activities like fishing, swimming, kayaking, and photography. Texas has many different waterways like streams and rivers, swamps and marshes, bayous and lakes, and even the deep open water of the Gulf of Mexico. No matter how big or small, each water body has different features and characteristics that make up an ecosystem for different plants and wildlife. The critters that live in these waters have certain adaptations that allow them to survive in their environments.
Foxes live around the world in many different types of habitat from the snowy arctic to the hot desert and even in trees. Some foxes have even adapted to live in urban environments like our neighborhoods. There are three types of foxes that live in Texas: the swift or kit fox which lives in the north western part of the state, the red fox which lives in the eastern and central parts of the state, and the most common, the gray fox which is found statewide.
