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.
