a little more about the swift fox


The swift fox started out in Canada in 1938. They soon almost died out after, because of shortage of food. They ate grass which made them sick. Then they got repopulated and which now has been shortened once again. Life is not easy for the swift fox because cuteness for us can be a cute fur coat soon.The population of them left is: 500-600! can u believe that?!Think of all the hunters and people that actually killed them! That's only how much are in the wild!

Save the swift fox

 How to Save Them:
 There are so many ways to save them for istance: If you live in any area where a fox is try picking up trash and chemicals because if the foxes consume them they could soon  DYE  or get seriously sick. If you want to catch a possum or another animal try feeding that animal something different then a fox would eat. If you see a swift fox in the road try to avoid it and dont scare it away. if see one injured take it to a local wildlife animal preserve. If you have any fertilizers for your garden KEEP THEM AWAY. please do not feed the swift fox because it will become atached to you and will com back every day and try to get more food, which could be dangerous for you.
