Red foxes in Australia

Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) pose a serious conservation problem in Australia, with a range extending throughout most of the continental mainland. The species became established in Australia through successive introductions, by settlers, beginning in the 19th century. Due to its rapid spread and ecological impact, it has been classified as one of the most damaging invasive species in Australia, along with feral cats.
