The European fox, Vulpes vulpes, was introduced into Australia in the early 1870s for recreational hunting purposes. The spread of the fox closely followed the distribution of rabbits across mainland Australia. Today, foxes are found in most areas of the mainland south of the tropics and, unfortunately, are even believed to have been deliberately released in Tasmania.
