Today, the red fox has a range spanning most of North America and Eurasia, southern Australia, and with several populations in North Africa. In Australia the red fox is an introduced species and a conservation problem. Introduction occurred about 1850, for recreational fox hunting, In North America the red fox is native in boreal regions, introduced in temperate regions. There is a recent fossil record of Red foxes in boreal North America, and one subspecies of these native boreal foxes extends south in the Rocky Mountains. In temperate North America, Red foxes are derived from European Red foxes, which were introduced into the Southeastern United States around 1650-1750 for fox hunting, and from there to California for the fur trade. The first introduction is attributed to Robert Brooke, Sr., who is said to have imported 24 Red foxes from England. The introduced European Red fox may have interbred with the scarce indigenous population to produce a hybrid population. Three subspecies of Red fox are found in India: Vulpes vulpes montana (the Tibetan Red fox), found in Ladakh and the Himalayas, Vulpes vulpes griffithi (the Kashmir Fox) found in Jammu and Kashmir less the Ladakh sector, and Vulpes vulpes pusilla (the Desert Fox) found in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan and in Kutch, Gujarat. A subspecies, the Japanese Red fox (Vulpes vulpes japonica) migrated from India to China and eventually to Japan.
