Vulpes vulpes - Red foxes originated in Eurasia and have spread throughout the northern hemisphere. With approximately 280 separate species, they are the most abundant species of the carnivora family. The red fox range has been extended to include Australia; they were brought in by settlers during the 1830’s. Red foxes have a primary diet featuring small rodent type animals. Being opportunistic omnivores, red foxes will also eat fruits and vegetables. Unless there is an abundant food source, red foxes tend to hunt alone.
