Man is their main predator. Foxes are hunted for sport, hunted for their fur coats, shot by farmers, or hit by cars. Red foxes used to be hunted by bobcats, lynxes, panthers, and wolves, but there are not many of those predators left. When a red fox is scared, he doesn’t usually go into a den. Instead, he depends on his speed and intelligence to help him escape the dangerous animal. Foxes are built to be long-distance runners, with tough toe pads and hard nails that stay out all the time (like your dog if you have one)
These are just SOME of their predators but still, if people just STOP and look at what thier doing thy would feel really bad no, they would feel horible for what they are doing and hopefully never do it again. THIS DOES'NT MEAN GO UP TP A RANDOM STRANGER AND TELL THEM THIS but... we can stop those people,and possibly even get them off the endangered spieces list but not if we just sit there and not do anything!we may not be able to keep them off of it forever,they won't be able to thank us,and we definetly can't stop animals from doing anything but WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!! thanks 4 reading all this. :)

Size???
Have you everwondered How big is the red fox??? Well i'm about to tell you... The swift fox is only about two thirds the size of a red fox. And youve also probably wondered how much they weigh well they usually weigh around 8 to 11 pounds. The fox is related to the wolf, jackal, and coyote; they are members of the coyote family. they're also really cute but do Not let that fool you because if they're scred of you(because to them wer're huge) they Can bite your finger clean off!!! That's impressive for something that is that small and weighs so little.They're pretty intresting to read about too(and that's Something coming from me.)i'll try to put a video and some pics of the red fox on soon.
Save the red fox!!!!!
Foxes are in danger of becoming extinct. In many regions of the world, the fox is being hunted for furs. Some kinds of foxes, especially the Arctic fox and the red fox have long, soft fur that is highly valued. People trap foxes for their fur, and also raise the animals on fur farms. The Arctic fox is a very valuable natural resource of the Canadian Arctic regions whatever that is! Originally, the Inuit and Indians caught the Arctic fox by using snares, deadfalls, and pits, but now they trap the fox. The trap is placed in a shallow hole; bait in the form of frozen meat balls is placed over the trap. Arctic foxes are not suspicious and are easily trapped.Ibet you never knew That before!!!
