rókának

Róka is a Hungarian word that translates to "fox" in English. The term is used to refer to various species of foxes found in Hungary and other parts of Central Europe. The most common species of fox in Hungary is the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), which is known for its distinctive reddish fur and bushy tail. Other species of foxes that can be found in Hungary include the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) and the Corsac Fox (Vulpes corsac).

Foxes are omnivorous mammals belonging to the Canidae family. They are known for their adaptability and are found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and urban areas. In Hungary, foxes play an important role in the ecosystem as they help control populations of small mammals and insects.

The Hungarian word róka is also used in a metaphorical sense to describe a cunning or sly person. This usage reflects the fox's reputation for intelligence and resourcefulness in the wild. In Hungarian folklore and literature, the fox is often depicted as a trickster figure, using its cunning to outwit other animals.

In recent years, there has been growing concern about the decline of fox populations in Hungary and other parts of Europe due to habitat loss, road accidents, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and preserve these important predators.
