Vulpes

Nezumi Fox Nyarko Mr.Brookhart Ecology 06 April 2016 Kit 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. Kit foxes have exceptionally large and closely set ears. Their ears help spread the body heat in the desert like environments. Kit

Krystal Vulpes hid her daughter quickly, giving her one last goodbye. Maddox and Krystal were forced outside, and the young cub never saw them again. Many years later, Clare lived in a small cottage by herself;

When we hear about an endangered species we auto, automatically think of great blue whales, African elephants, polar bears, pandas, etc. These are highly publicized by the media and documentary makers. People are aware of this endangered species but not of the less popular endangered species that are in our own backyard. Based on published historic range and population there is roughly 317 animal and plant species endangered in California. The endangered species are protected under the federal and

Throughout many years, our Earth’s climate has changed and fluctuated many times. As of today, our climate has been increasing dramatically. This has to do with burning too many fossil fuels and creating more greenhouse gases, which make the Earth absorb more sunlight from the sun’s rays. Although this is hurting humans, no one has really thought about how it is affecting the arctic animals. It has affected polar bears and their way of life. Climate change is also affecting lemmings, and the way

The ‘Treyen’ Species A descendant of the Fennecus zerda (Fennec Fox), this new species, known as the Treyens, resides in the Sahara Desert under dry and hot conditions. An omnivore, the Treyen’s diet consists of a variety of plants as well as rodents, insects, and eggs, much like it’s ancestor. Therefore, similar to the Fennec Fox, the Treyen has large ears on the top of it’s heads which enhances it’s hearing abilities (National Geographic, n.d.). This feature allows it to detect any insects or rodents

Fennec Foxes There are over 30 different species of Canines in the world (Canidae. Wikipedia), and 18 of those species are foxes. Foxes are known for their cunning, and slyness. They are often portrayed as beady-eyed tricksters whose goal is to harm someone. One reason for this is because of their resilient ability to survive. No matter what is thrown at them, or what conditions they must live in, they always stand strong. One of the most resolute of them all is the small but fierce fennec fox

Vulpes vulpes lives in a varied habitat ranging from desert to forest to human populated areas (L.Fox). Feeding requirements Similar to habitat requirements, the feeding requirements of Felis Catus and Oryctolagus cuniculus differ fairly significantly being carnivorous, consuming terrestrial vertebrates such as birds and insects and herbivorous consuming leaves, tubers, seeds, fruit and flowers respectively (Tislerics; Birch). Again like the habitat requirements Vulpes vulpes falls in

ecosystem functioning (Fleming et al 2014). Due to various impacts by human, these small mammals have quickly been declining. The large impact humans have had on the small mammals is the introduction of invasive species. Felis catus (feral cat) and Vulpes vulpes (fox) are overpopulated invaders who prey on species such as Macrotis lagotis and other small

red foxes in North America is gradually increasing. Primarily their habitat is around the Arctic Circle; however, after incidences of glaciation, the change in temperatures necessitated the need to find new habitats. The red fox is also known as Vulpes vulpes has adapted to the urban life and now, it is not uncommon to spot a one or a whole park of red foxes in the North American woods. Being a carnivore, the red fox feeds on flesh. It preys on other smaller predators like the kit fox and now it poses
