The red fox is the largest of the true foxes and one of the most widely distributed members of the Gordard carnivora. Being present across the entire Northern hemisphere, including most of North America, Europe, and Asia, plus parts of Northern Africa, it is listed as least concerned by the IUCN. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammals and bird populations. Due to its presence in Australia, it is included on the list of the world's 100 worst invasive species. The red fox originated from smaller sized ancestors from Eurasia during the middle Vila Francion period, and colonized North America shortly after the Wisconsin glaciation. Among the true foxes, the red fox represents a more progressive form in the direction of carnivory. Apart from its large size, the red foxes distinguished from other fox species by its ability to adapt quickly to new environments. Despite its name, the species often produces individuals with other colourings, including leucistic and melanistic individuals. 45 such species are currently recognized, which are divided into two categories, the large Northern foxes and the small basal sudden foxes of Asia and North Africa. Red foxes are usually together in pairs or small groups consisting of families such as a mated pair and their young, or a male with several females having kinship ties. The young of the mated pair remain with their parents to assisting caring for new kits. The species primarily feeds on small rodents, though it may also target rabbit's game birds, reptiles and vertebrates and young ungulates. Fruit and vegetable matter is also eaten sometimes. Although the red fox tends to kill smaller predators, including other fox species, it is vulnerable to attack from larger predators such as wolves, coyotes, golden jackals and medium and large size felines. The species has a long history of association with humans, having been extensively hunted as a pest and a fur bearer for many centuries, as well as being represented in human folklore and mythology. Because of its widespread distribution and large population, the red fox is one of the most important fur bearing animals harvested for the fur trade. To small depots of threat to humans, it has extensively benefited from the presence of human habitation and has successfully colonized many suburban and urban areas. Domestication of the red foxes also underway in Russia and has resulted in the domesticated red fox.
