NO they don't. Let me tell you the whole entire story (its true, believe me).
130 years ago, there were red squirrels all over the UK. Then some man found a few grey squirrels and thought he'd catch them and introduce them to the UK and then they all began breeding and making more and more grey squirrels but the grey squirrels began killing all the red squirrels so there's not many left. There's loads in Scotland - they look after red squirrels and try to kill all the grey. Red squirrels can't fight back because they're a bit smaller and very timid and friendly. They don't have a single violence in their body. I'm a girl who loves animals, a crazy animal-lover, and I want all the grey squirrels and red squirrels to be alive but someone needs to do something to the grey squirrels. I wish they all got along.
i know for sure that in Morocco it is illegal to hunt the Fennec fox! that's all i have :/
no the gray wolf isn't extinct . it lives in North America, and parts of Europe and Asia.
No, as a matter of fact they have very high populations.
The grey fox is not an endangered species. Still fairly common over its range.

While the Grey Fox is not endangered in the US, it is considered a threatened species (and in some areas endangered) in Canada. In Ontario, it was placed on the protection list (Ontario's Endangered Species Act, 2007).
The decline of the Grey Fox, in Ontario, is not fully understood. Researchers are puzzling over this.
Foxes are very smart animals, like all canines, and gray foxes are particularly shy and wary. I'm not sure why you would want to get rid of gray foxes as they are harmless, but assuming you have a good reason to get rid of them, I'll tell you how to do it. You can trap them or shoot them. I'm going to assume the shooting option isn't available to you, since if you were able to shoot them you probably wouldn't be asking this question on the internet, you'd be out shooting foxes instead. Foxes are nearly impossible to catch in cage-type traps. This method could be tried, but in all likelihood you will not succeed. If you do decide to try a cage trap, use a very large one and pile brush all around it so it looks like a natural enclosure. Foothold traps of a size appropriate to foxes may be used. Buy a book on general trapping, purchase a few humane foothold traps, prepare them properly, and catch the foxes. Most modern steel traps will not harm foxes caught in them. Be sure to buy traps with smooth, wide, rolled-edge jaws, or traps with rubber padding on the jaws, to avoid causing the animal any pain. Cheaply-made traps will have squared-edge, thin jaws. Avoid these. The rubber-jawed "Soft-Catch" traps are excellent and humane, but high-quality rolled-edge footholds like the Bridger line of traps are equally humane. Traps should be between size 1.5 and size 1.75. A #1 is too small, and a #2 is too large, for foxes. You should bait the foxes for awhile before setting traps, to get them accustomed to eating foreign types of food. Then, prepare a trap bed and conceal your trap perfectly, making sure the trap will function when light pressure is applied. For light-footed gray foxes, 1-2 pounds of pressure should fire the trap. Once caught, you can do whatever you like with the foxes. Be sure to consult your local hunting and trapping regulations as you might need to purchase a license or special permit to do this.
An adult red fox measures 22 to 32 inches in body legnth without its additional tail measurement and weighs 6 to 15 pounds.
Gray wolves can live in a variety of ecosystems. They live in the tundra, woodlands, forests, grasslands, and deserts. They thrive in all of these places because they are able to adapt to different temperatures and weather changes.
Same animal. People in the US spell the color "gray," people in the UK spell the colour "grey." Since that particular fox is native to North America, we'll go with the US spelling, especially since "The Grey Fox" was a movie in 1982.
Gray wolves are secondary consumers and feed mostly on primary consumers - deer, moose and other such plant eaters.
A male fox is called a dog, regnard or tod,
a female fox is called a vixen,
and a baby fox is called a kit, cub, or pup.
A male fox is called a dog or reynard.
Although artic and red foxes are two completely different species of fox, they still have similar smells (the arctic being stronger in stench), they make similar noises, and they have the same diet.
Yes, gray foxes have feelings. I have held a gray fox for a wildlife rescue group for over 14 years. Besides myself, he will only allow one other person to touch him, the neighbor next door. If she drops by for a visit but does not stop by his pen to talk, he will pout and become morose for a time. If I pick him up and give him a hug and scratch his belly he loves it! If I miss doing this for a day or two he, once again, gets sad. He has feelings and his feelings can be bruised.
The gray fox is able to tolerate more extreme hot climates than it does cold.
Here is another website that says more about climates of gray foxes.
There are grey wolves kept in zoos. They are also living in the wild, America, Canada, Russia, and so on.
No, it is never wise to feed a wild animal. They are quite capable of finding their own food. To feed them would make them imprinted on humans as a source of food and they might lose their natural hunting ability and they would become pests. In many areas it is illegal to feed wild animals.
Gray foxes have their kits in the spring, usually April or May.
Red foxes are omnivores with a highly varied, but mainly carnivorous diet.
They primarily feed on small, mouse-like rodents like voles, mice, ground squirrels, hamsters, gerbils, woodchucks, pocket gophers and deer mice. Secondary prey species include birds, porcupines, raccoons, opossums, reptiles, insects, other invertebrates and flotsam (marine mammals, fish and echinoderms). On very rare occasions, they may attack young or small ungulates.
They typically target mammals up to about 3.5 kg in weight, and require 500 grams of food daily. Red foxes readily eat plant material and in some areas, fruit can amount to 100% of their diet in autumn. Commonly consumed fruits include blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, persimmons, mulberries, apples, plums, grapes and acorns. Other plant material includes grasses, sedges and tubers.
they eeat mice rats and rabbits
Yes they do. There has been sightings of them, as well as red fox.
the red fox's habitat might include forest edges, meadows and the bank of a river. The niche of the red fox is that of a predator which feeds on the small mammals, amphibians, insects, and fruit found in this habitat. Red foxes are active at night. They provides blood for blackflies and mosquitoes, and are host to numerous diseases. The scraps, or carrion, left behind after a fox's meal provide food for many small scavengers and decomposers. This then is the ecological niche of the red fox. Only the red fox occupies this niche in the meadow-forest edge communities. In other plant communities different species of animal may occupy a similar niche to that of the red fox. For example, in the grassland communities of western Canada and the United States, the coyote occupies a similar niche (to that of the red fox.)
