Red foxes face several environmental threats, with habitat loss being a primary concern. Urbanization, agricultural expansion, and deforestation reduce their natural habitats, leading to fragmentation and decreased prey availability. Additionally, climate change impacts their food sources and ranges, while hunting and road traffic pose direct dangers. Pollution and disease can also further endanger red fox populations.
The European Red fox (vulpes vulpes) was first introduced to Australia by British colonists in order to hunt for sport near Melbourn Victoria in 1845. Since it has become a severe environmental problem.
Red Foxes come from Asia.
Foxes can be red or orange in color.
Gray Foxes are smaller than red foxes and red foxes live further north than gray foxes.
Up until less than a decade ago, the red fox had not been introduced into Tasmania. However, since it was introduced in 2002, it has spread quickly, causing a potential environmental disaster in that fragile island state of Australia. Although a task force was set up to try to contain the problem there is still evidence that foxes remain a problem in Tasmania. See the related link below for more information on the presence of foxes in Tasmania, and current eradication efforts.

Dingoes Are Cute Then Red Foxes!
Red foxes don't generally have enemies, but when an animal preys on them it is usually for territorial reasons rather than for food. The predators don't usually see this as a problem - just as we eat other animals. Most people don't see this as a problem and don't see the animals as "poor".
