What is the swift fox taxonomy?
The swift fox has 2 coats of fur. In the winter, the swift fox grows whiter fur to camouflage in the snow covered ground so that they aren't too visible for its predators. During the warmer days when there isn't any snow, they shed their white fur, and grow browner fur which can blend in with crops around them.
How did the swift fox get endangered?
No, foxes are generally not endangered. In fact, people need to hunt foxes in Australia now. It ruined the ecosystem because the foxes there are not native. They eat birds instead of getting rid of the rabbit population. Some species of fox no longer exist in the wild. But otherwise foxes are safe from being endangered. In some countries they are a pest.There are 4 foxes that are indeed endangered: the Grey fox, the Darwin's, the Island fox and the Swift fox.extremely.they are being threatened by humans destroying their dens
Swift fox extinction?
By the mid-1900s, the swift fox appeared to have disappeared from Montana altogether. In 1969, the state declared the species extirpated, noting that the last documented record was a specimen captured along the eastern border of Glacier National Park in 1918. Canada declared the swift fox extirpated in 1978. In 1992 the species was petitioned for listing in the United States under the federal Endan-gered Species Act, then was listed as a candidate species by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) four years later. It appeared that the swift fox was about to become the endangered species poster child of the Great Plains. Then, inexplicably, the foxes began reappearing in Montana. "We started hearing more and more reports from people saying they'd seen swift foxes," says Giddings. Most of the sightings were in the state's north-central region around the Hi-Line between Havre and Glasgow. The foxes were products of an aggressive reintroduction begun in Saskatchewan and Alberta several years earlier. In 1983, the provinces had begun releasing wild-captured swift foxes from Colorado and Wyoming and captive-bred foxes from Canada. Over the next 14 years, Canadian wildlife biologists reintroduced 900 foxes into suitable habitat, with the hope that a healthy breeding population would develop. Though most of the released foxes died (reintroduced foxes are highly susceptible to predation), enough survived to establish a growing resident breeding population. Once they learned of the Canadian program, Montana biologist assumed the in-creased sightings were of swift foxes crossing the international border. But with federal listing looming, the state's Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks knew it needed proof the rare fox had established a resident population in Montana.

In the winter months an arctic fox's fur is white. In the spring and summer the fox sheds its white fur and grows a brown coat. How does this trait help the fox survive?
By changing fur colour, depending on the season, the Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) is using camouflage. White fur against the white of the winter snow is harder to see the fox as it stalks its prey, or escapes from a predator (Polar Bear?). Brown fur is less noticeable against the green grasses and the grey-brownish rocks, than if the fox kept a white coat all year round. The brown fur is not uniform in colour, with streaks of greyish-white.
