A group of foxes is most commonly called a skulk , leash , or earth
- Skulk refers to the stealthy, cunning nature of foxes, as the word means to lurk or move stealthily.
- Leash is another term, historically used for a group of foxes seen together, and sometimes refers to captured or domesticated foxes.
- Earth is used when referencing foxes that live or hunt together in a shared den or area.
Other, less common terms include pack (especially when referring to foxes that hunt together) and, rarely, charm
. For baby foxes, the collective noun is a litter
