Collared swift fox and pup |
The swift fox is the smallest canid (dog) in North
America.
Closely related to the kit fox, swift foxes were once abundant across the
Great
Plains but
were trapped for their fur and inadvertently poisoned to very low numbers in the
1800s and early 1900s, disappearing entirely from the northern portion of their
range. Today swift foxes are making a comeback and
Defenders is helping to make this a wildlife success story.
