Sumario:Radio tracking data from six red foxes Vulpes vulpes (Linnaeus, 1758) in Coto Doflana (SW Spain) were used to obtain the activity pattern throughout the day and night. Results suggested that females travelled longer distances during the night than during the day (p <0.001). Males travelled distances similar during both day and night (p > 0.15) but they travelled farther than females throughout 24 h periods (p < 0.05).
