What eats red foxes in Australia?

Red foxes are not native to Australia. They were introduced in the 19th century for hunting. There are no natural predators of red foxes in Australia that are large enough to hunt them.

However, there are some animals that may prey on young or sick foxes:

* Dingoes: Dingoes are native Australian wild dogs and can potentially prey on foxes, particularly young ones.

* Large birds of prey: Wedge-tailed eagles and other large raptors may occasionally take young or weak foxes.

* Other foxes: Foxes are known to sometimes fight and kill each other, especially over food or territory.

While these animals may occasionally prey on foxes, the biggest threat to foxes in Australia is human intervention. This includes:

* Fox control programs: The Australian government has implemented extensive fox control programs using trapping, shooting, and poisoning to manage their populations.

* Competition with native wildlife: Foxes compete with native species for food and resources, which impacts their survival.

So, while there aren't any large, dedicated predators of red foxes in Australia, they are still subject to various threats, mainly human control efforts.
