The fox has a primary predator is man, who hunts and traps it, as well as drives it off or strips it of habitat. In the wild, bobcats, lynxes, panthers, and wolves will take down a fox if they are able, and the bear or wolverine will kill a fox if it can, though the fox is generally too quick and wily. The young of the fox are vulnerable to larger Birds of Prey where the adults are not such easy marks and are generally avoided.

In general, any larger predator will tackle any fox that is found within its range. That's the general rule of thumb - the larger predator will prey on a smaller predator if the opportunity presents itself. Bears, larger canines, or any large cat can be trouble for a fox, as can any large bird of prey.

Owls are one of the predators that eat these foxes.

Yes. The fox has a diet that consists of rodents, insects, worms, fruit, fish, birds, eggs, and all other kinds of small animals. It is clearly a predator. A link to the Wikipedia article on the fox is provided.

Hyenas, vultures, and many other big animals.

Quote,"HUMANS! :'(. I would say anything bigger than the fennec fox is a predator to it. "

Not at all correct my dear, the Fennec Fox can take on snakes and many other creatures that are bigger than it. Humans do seem to be a likely threat due to commercial hunting but that is not the biggest threat. Vultures, owls, hyenas, and jackals are the little foxes biggest threat.

The fox has few natural enemies or predators. In Great Britain, fox hunting was very popular until it was forbidden a couple of years ago. But looking also at other countries, the best answer would be "man".

The fennec fox's main predators are the various African varieties of eagle owl.Other possible predators include caracals, jackals, striped hyenas, and the saluki, a greyhound-like domestic dog local to the area. However, fennec foxes are considered very difficult to capture, and reports of predators other than the eagle owl are considered to be anecdotal and questionable.
