Choose the feminine form of the given noun: fox
A. foxes
B. vixen
C. she-fox
D. Foxen
Answer: option (B) vixen
Explanation: Female gender nouns are nouns for females, girls and female animals and male gender nouns are for males, boys and male animals. The male gender form of the fox is a dog, Reynard or Tod, and the female gender form of the fox is Vixen. Fox is a traditional term used to describe the gender of both males and female foxes.
For example, I saw a fox in the woods, you don’t know if it’s male or female. The vixen escaped from the zoo. Here you can see that the female fox has escaped from the zoo.
