What is the main reason the red fox is endangered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It was endangered a long time ago because in the 1800's the red fox was considered pests to people. So they poisoned their food sources, trapped then, and hunted them in vast amounts. Also around 1900, many where killed accidentally from predator control programs that where aimed at removing (killing) wolves, coyotes and ground squirrels from the prairies. Today people still hunt them and trap them for their furs. Also they hunt them for the skill it takes to kill one because they are very clever and good at escaping predators.

As opposed to most people's beliefs, foxes usually cannot see as well as their canid cousins. A fox's vision is about as good or slightly better than a human's in terms of the distance a fox can see, but they are a lot more sensitive to movement than humans.

Why can't you have a red fox?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on where you live, it may be illegal. It is illegal in many places to keep wildlife as pets (in the US, you might be allowed to nurse an injured animal back to health with the ultimate goal of reintroducing it back into the wild... contact your local wildlife department for details).

Aside from that, red foxes are by nature wild animals and not particularly suitable as pets.

There's an institute in Russia that has been breeding foxes... grey foxes, I believe, though I may be misremembering... for several decades in an effort to understand the genetics of domestication. Their most "domesticated" foxes are affectionate towards humans and act much like dogs; they're trying to secure permission to sell some of them as exotic pets. If you'd like to know more about this, there was a recent article in National Geographic about it.

Is a red fox really red?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, they aren't. In fact, they're pretty much never "red" (except in the sense that some people have "red" ... actually more orange ... hair).

See the related link for some pictures of the pelts of various subspecies of red foxes. You'll see that some of them are pretty much brown or grey.
