It's possible you may be thinking of a different fox species, or there might be a misunderstanding about the conservation status of gray foxes in a specific region.
To help me understand better, can you tell me:
* What region are you referring to? Conservation status can vary by location.
* Are you thinking of a specific type of fox? There are many different fox species, some of which are endangered or threatened.
Once I have more information, I can provide you with a more accurate answer.
