Kit Fox Research Paper

The European red fox (vulpes vulpes), is a highly adaptable, opportunistic omnivorous mammal characterised by its big ears, bushy tail and reddish-brown coats. The red fox is an introduced pest specie in Australia, originating in North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa. The red fox was brought to Australia for by British colonies for recreational hunting as early as 1855 and from then the fox rapidly spread across the southern area's of Australia, except for Tasmania, coinciding with the distribution rabbits, as they are the key prey of the red fox. Within 20 years, the red fox had achieved pest status in Australia. This species rapid spread was reliant on the lack of natural predators in Australian, only having only the dingoes and Tasmanian devil to compete for food in certain areas like Tasmania, where the fox populations seem to be supressed. Their introduction has been the reason for the extinction and decline of many native Australian species, especially terrestrial mammals including the Long-nosed

Among the many species that live on the tundra, there is the arctic fox (scientific name alopex lagopus). Staying within the tundra (both arctic and alpine) biome, the arctic fox can be found in parts of Canada, Russia, Greenland, Svalbard, and Alaska. Arctic foxes are known for their small furry bodies that are covered by a thick white or blue-gray coat, short pointy ears, and bushy tails. Their coloring actually allows them to camouflage into the ice, snow, and will change to a brown/gray during the summer in order to continue camouflaging. This in turn helps them with their predatory nature.

Ruben J. Fox a 40 year old man who has gone has graduated from Harvard University, and has gone into the career as a lawyer for the state of Michigan. After working several years in Michigan working on a various amount of cases. Ruben J. Fox had soon been offered a position as a politician for the Universal Party. For several years Ruben J Fox had worked on several cases mainly relating towards Gun Control in order to protect said policy for the rights of the public, while still trying to defend the people. Six years later Ruben J. Fox had been recommended and accepted as a Senator for the Universal Party. As Ruben had ascended to the position of Senator of the Universal Party, he had worked closely with the Death Penalty, trying to preserve this option for the cruel morbid criminals, stating that people should die from natural causes . Ruben has worked on several delicate criminal cases. Immigration was huge for him, Ruben believes that English should no longer become a mandatory language to learn, main reason being; that almost everyone who enters the United States, due to either their accent or of other reasons. Relating to Marriage and Divorce, Ruben believes that same sex-marriage should be allowed for any type of couple.As for Divorce it should take at least a month for due process to occur in order to deal with any issues that has already occurred in said marriage such as rape or other issues relating towards family affairs.

Introduction The island foxes (Urocyon littoralis) are a unique species of small carnivores that only live on the Channel Islands located off the coast of Southern California. The island fox is about 12 inches high, weights 2.5 to 6 pounds, and has a grizzled gray hair color along the top of the head and back. Along the abdomen, neck and legs it has a more cinnamon coloring, and white along the cheeks and throat to the chest (Friends of the Island Fox, 2012). According to Levy (2010)

The San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) is a small, desert fox that persists primarily around the perimeter of the San Joaquin Valley in central California. It is an endangered subspecies of the more widely occurring kit fox. The fox eats primarily kangaroo rats where their ranges overlap, or a variety of other food sources (voles, ground squirrels, rats, mice, insects). The current population size for the San Joaquin kit fox is unknown, but estimates are 90%) habitat overlaps with areas designated by areas of potential solar

The animal I was given for this assignment was the Channel Island Fox. They are considered to be near extinction animals with nearly about 2,500 fox left (last checked 2008). The Channel Island Fox is a type of fox that only lives on the Channel Islands, which is located around the coast of Southern California in about 19 to 61 miles away from the continental state. On a clear day in California, many visitors have the chance to see the islands over the shores. Within the eight islands, only six of the islands have the Channel Island Fox on their land. The six islands are San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Santa Catalina, San Nicolas and San Clemente. Each island has different features which has given each island fox a different trait compared to each one, but they are still considered as Island Fox.

Kit foxes, also called Vulpes Macrotis are among the smallest foxes in America. The kit fox is very easily mistaken for a dog however when you look at their appearance you realize that proportions are not that of a dog's. Many people often confuse the kit fox with its larger cousin, the grey desert fox.

The Four Chaplains are four United States Army chaplains who gave their lives to save other civilian and military personnel as the ship SS Dorchester sank on February 3, 1943, during World War II. The four men name's are George Fox, Alexander Goode, Clark Poling, John Washington. They were significant because they would help keep the other men close to God.

Throughout history, species have evolved and evolved over time. Evolution is caused by many factors some of which include natural selection, mutations, genetic drift, neutral or random evolution, migration or gene flow. Unlike evolution, many species are being extinct such as the Baiji River Dolphin, the Javan tiger, and golden toad. Before these organisms extinct, they were first endangered. An endangered specie is a specie on the brinck of extinction. This is the case of the swift fox, also known as Vulpes velox. For decades, scientists have thrived to keep the Vulpes velox from extinction through many means. To understand the swift foxes’ lifespan, one must learn their history and background, reasons they’re declining in numbers, historical homeland and present homeland and finally factors that caused this decline.

Clark Terry was born in St. Louis, Missouri on December 14th, 1920; he was the seventh out of eleven children. He was a classic freelance musician, his career spans more than 70 years. During this time he created a name for himself that will forever cement him along with the legends like Duke Ellington and Miles Davis. Mr. Clark was a man of many talents and during his time on this earth he was became a world-class trumpeter, flugelhornist, educator, composer, writer, trumpet/flugelhorn designer, teacher and even an NEA Jazz Master; He made flugelhorn what it is today he is responsible for its popularity. Another thing that Clark Terry is noted for is his association with relationship with Duke Ellington’s orchestra and Count Basie; he is

Imagine speeding down the slopes having a great time, then it’s all cut off. Mason Fox deals with this problem constantly. At age Sixteen Mason Fox, a Hempfield High School student, spends his time snowboarding and tearing up the slopes. His main problem? The newbies who cut him off in the middle of his thrill. On September 2nd I interviewed Mason Fox and learned many interesting things about his family, school life, and unique personality.

During the 1930s, there were three Triple Crown winners. The first winner was Gallant Fox. In 1930, at three years old, Gallant Fox won the U.S. Triple Crown. Gallant Fox was a large bay horse with a white blaze, four white coronets, and a wall eye. He was sired by Sir Gallahad III and his dam was Marguerite. Gallant Fox was foaled in Paris, Kentucky at Bull Hancock’s Claiborne Farm on March 23, 1927. His owner was William Woodward Sr. Gallant Fox had a very short racing career. He was only raced from 1929-1930. He won eleven out of seventeen races that he started in. Gallant Fox was trained by “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons realized that Gallant Fox worked best with other horses, so he used relays to train him because no other horses

Terry Fox, a name you’ve probably heard a lot. Just sitting in your class and doodling. Ever actually paid attention to who is Terry fox is? In this report you will learn a lot of facts about terry fox. Ps. not a ten page essay my teacher told me to write.

The Santa Catalina Island Fox (Urocyon litroralis catalinae) is a close relative to the mainland gray fox and they are endemic to Channel Islands. Using genetic testing and the morphological species concept, scientists have identified that U.l. catalinae are introduced from mainland to the island by Native Americans about 10,000 to 13,000 years ago (USFWS 2015). Originally, these foxes occupied several different islands such as Santa Cruz Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara Island and San Clemente Islands. Most fox populations on these islands were listed as Endangered under the Endangered Species Act in March, 2004 due to its drastic decline in number of individuals (USFWS 2004). For the recovery plan analysis, I will only focus on U.l.catalinae because this subspecies remained listed as Threatened while all other subspecies on other islands were already delisted as of August 8, 2016 (USFWS 2016).

Arctic fox is small animal that can reach 26 inches in length and 6.5 to 17 pounds of weight. Bushy tail is usually 13.7 inches long.
