Control

grace_darcey_21 — 2013-05-30 23:58:14 UTC

In the past, bounties have been paid to remove

foxes from the wild, but these have rarely been

effective in reducing the damage caused by foxes.

Similary, hunting does not seem to have a

significant or lasting impact on fox numbers or the damage they cause.

Preventing the introduction of foxes to new areas, such as islands high

proiority. Islands are often refuges for animals no longer found on the

mainland. or In the South-West and Western Australia.

Red Foxes Diet

grace_darcey_21 — 2013-06-06 00:47:11 UTC

Red foxes eat small Australian mammals

such as bandicoots, baby rabbits and small

prey.

What are scientists doing to help?

grace_darcey_21 — 2013-06-19 04:27:55 UTC

The reintroduction of competitive species has been suggested as a method of control.

Research by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation)

concluded that the presence of dingos not only decrease the presence of foxes, but increase native
animals. Professor Chris Johnson of James Cook University and Dr Euan Ritchie
of Deakin University think the reintroduction of Tasmanian Devils to
the mainland to perform a similar role that helped Tasmania to use natural ways to

protect the environment .
