CHARACTERISTICS

• The Island Fox isnt endangered. The
  Island Fox is the largest of the channel
  Islands native mammals. A descendent of the
  mainland gray fox. The island fox evolved into
  unique species over 10,000 years ago. The island
  fox has similar markings to its ancestor, but is
  one-third smaller.Enviromental and ecological
  factors such as drought or food scarcity may have
  contributed to the natural selection for a
  smaller size. At 12 to 13 inches in height and 4
  to 5 pounds. The island fox is about the size of
  a house cat. Island foxes have gray coloring on
  the back, rust coloring on the sides, and white
  underneath. The face has distinctive black, white
  ,and rufous-colored patterns.

PREDATOR/PREY

• The island fox on San Clement island has
  been identified as a predator of the severely
  endangered race of the loggerhead shrike. On two
  occasions foxes have been recorded entering a
  shrike nest and nestlings. Island foxes hunts
  dead mice to feed there babies. from this study
  it was determined that predation by golden eagles
  was a significant factor in the decline of the
  foxes.

POEM

• Island foxes are small foxes. When the U.S
  Fish and Wildlife Service came and got they were
  living in cages that look like small little
  boxes. They like to eat dead mice, but they are
  nice. They are very light. If a gust of wind came
  through it will blow it out of sight. One day I
  will like to see a island fox or maybe not.
