| Description : |
Two brothers with 40 fox skeletons. The European Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) was first introduced to Australia in the mid 1800s for sporting purposes and by the 1870s it had become established in the wild. Now it ranges all over Australia except for the tropical north. Evidence shows that it is a serious predator of native animals as well as introduced species such as rabbits. |
