Known types of foxes that are believed extinct include:Leptocyon - might be considered an ancestor of foxes. It went extinct around the end of the Miocene Epoch about 10 million years ago.Vulpes riffautae is an extinct species of foxes of the genus Vulpes identified from fossils found in Chad in northern Africa. It also lived in the late Miocene.Vulpes riffautae is an extinct species of fox of the genus Urocyon. It lived during the Pleistocene.The Cozumel Fox may be extinct. Its habitat is (or was) the island of Cozumel, Mexico.The "Falkland Fox" is another name for the Falkland Islands Wolf - which went extinct around 1876. Experts have not decided for certain if it was a fox. If not, then it was at least closely related.The Sierra Nevada Red Fox was thought to be extinct, but a positive identification was made from a photograph and DNA samples from a bait bag that at least one is present in a remote mountainous area of California. Since the previous last known Sierra Nevada red fox was identified back around 1920 and foxes don't live for over a hundred years, the assumption is that there must be a small population of them somewhere out in the mountains of California.

Last sighting was by E. Loder in 1894 though this statement can be highly debated upon.
Some states or jurisdictions may have laws protected the red fox but, overall, it receives no protection and is in no danger of going extinct.
There are many animals that are being killed off or over hunted to the point of being extinct. The pre-breeding population of the red fox is estimated to be 258,000 in some areas of the world.
It is expected that in a few hundred million years, it will become too hot on Earth for any kind of life we know.
In the wild the red fox rarely passes 5 years of age. In captivity they may live for 14-15 years.
