The Fantastic Falkland
Island Fox
The
Falkland Island fox is an extinct fox that is part of the canid family.
Description
Walnut
ticked coat with a white tail tip, the fox is very striking. It’s tail was very bushy, dark browny
black. It’s ears stood high on it’s head
and it’s claws per prominent.
Diet
They
got seafood like oysters, scallops and white crabs, making them carnivorous.
Habitat
Their
habitat was the East and West coasts of The Falkland Islands. Even though they liked forests they did not
have much of that habitat on the island.
This lack of ideal cover may have contributed to their demise.
Extinction
In
the east, they became extinct in 1840.
In the west, they became extinct in 1874. Settlers from the island were threatened by
the fox as they believed they hunted their sheep. There is no doubt they were over hunted by
humans.
In
conclusion, I think it is sad because people killed the Falkland Island Fox.
