Fox is the largest land dwelling carnivorous mammal on mainland Australia.
Foxes pose a serious threat to native wild life, domestic pets and are a significant threat to the survival of many ground-dwelling and nesting native species. The fox is a potential carrier of canine diseases. In some urban areas, fox population densities per hectare now exceed those of rural areas.
