The Red Fox was introduced to Australia and has no natural predators there. This combined with the fact that rabbits are abundant (another introduced species) means that the Fox can thrive untroubled by factors that normally limit their numbers in their indigenous countries.

What effects does the red fox have on Australia?

Predation on native species and competition with native carnivores such as the quoll. Incidentally, fox numbers have increased markedly in recent years thanks in part to animal rights activists attacking furriers and animal skin wearers, vastly reducing the value of Australian skins (which were amongst the best in the world, and not affected by rabies). So few are shot now, the skin price barely covers the cost of fuel and ammunition. So we can thank animal libbers and anti-gun activists for the continued demise of many Australian species. The fox was always absent from Tasmania, having never been introduced there, but it appears that in recent times foxes have found their way to the island state, most likely with human intervention.
