	A primarily carnivorous species, the kit fox is known to hunt insects and small vertebrates such as birds, lizards, and kangaroo rats<ref name=USNPS>USNPS Editors.

They play an important role in their ecosystem by controlling the populations of the small animals they consume, which tend to have high rates of reproduction and could therefore become serious pests if left unchecked. While they overwhelmingly prefer small prey, kit foxes have been known to hunt animals as large as jackrabbits, which likely represent the largest prey items they would typically consider viable<ref name=Sheld1992>Sheldon, Jennifer W.

	Kit foxes are typically monogamous; most pairs mate for life, but some will change over time. Both parents cooperate to raise and defend their litter, the size of which usually ranges from one to seven kits. Kit foxes construct large family dens, which they inhabit through the winter but eventually abandon to find food and mates. These then-vacant structures are often taken over by other animals, giving them shelter they might not otherwise have. This tendency to create living space for other organisms, along with the other various beneficial roles of the kit fox within their ecosystems, makes them something of a [[wikipedia:Keystone species\|keystone species]].

They are the smallest of the four species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulpes Vulpes] found in North America and are among the smallest of the vulpine species worldwide. They can be found in desert scrub and grasslands, but also occasionally agricultural and urban areas.

			This species is nocturnal and primarily carnivorous, hunting primarily small animals, reptiles, insects, and the terrestrial birds. However, if food is scarce, they will eat fruits such as tomato and cactus fruit. and will not pass up carrion if they find it. They play an important role in the ecosystem by controlling the populations of small animals.

			Kit foxes are typically monogamous; some pairs mate for life, but some will change over time. Both parents take care of and protect their young, and litter sizes usually range from 1-7 kits.They create large family dens in winter but eventually move out to find food and mates, so the structures are often taken over by other animals.
