=The Island Fox=

-

location:
lives on six of the eight Channel Islands, which are located off the coast of California. The habitat is a mixture of plains, beach, and forest.

diet:
It's an omnivore so, it eats fruits and grasses from native plants only along with, island deer mice, and insect. Golden eagles have begun to pick off the Island fox at an increasing rate.

Mating:
Island foxes breed once a year in a small den, during the winter. They do not mate for life.

the threat:
the treat to my animal is the golden eagle, it has been introduced as a new spices by humans and has now hunted the island fox to near extinction. the golden eagle never went to the islands originally because the islands were dominated by the bald eagle, but after the the mass depleation of them the golden eagle began to visit and now poulate most of the islands. Livestock from farmers have also been an issue eating most of the native grasses.
