Question

Is a red fox an endangered species??

Answer 1

In the UK the Red Fox is becoming somewhat of a pest. The population has risen rapidly over the last few years, especially since hunting with hounds was banned several years ago.

Even City Centres, including London, have large populations  of foxes, and you can't drive very far without seeing a dead fox by the side of the road.

Answer 2

Rabies fought so hard to control red fox populations when they were a main carrier of rabies, up to about 1984.

I observe a sharp increase in their numbers locally, and lots of rabbits to feed them since the Ontario wildlife  protection people have been dropping packets of meat laced with rabies inoculant.

But as red fox numbers have risen, we see a sharp decline in opossum. They look to become extinct  once again in Ontario.

Answer 3

I couldn't find it on a list anywhere.  I don't think they are endangered.  I see one all the time on my farm.  They go for rabbits!

Answer 4

With the exception of localized declines in different populations, the species on a whole is doing quite well.

Answer 5

Yes it is, because red foxes are getting extinct as we know it. So it is an endangered species.
