Invasive species as a whole have become a nuisance to many habitats and ecosystems around the world. What defines an invasive species is the following. It must be a species that is foreign to the habitat it resides in, have no natural predators which allow it to reproduce in such a rapid manner, and out compete native animals of food and shelter (Rosenthal 2011). These characteristics are what create such high populations of these invasive species in various habitats around the globe. A species
Foxes are small, carnivorous, solitary hunter/scavengers. They are somewhat common, living densely in N. America, Europe, and Asia, and less commonly, in S.America, Africa, and Canada.

and increased competition with red foxes. Out of the three, habitat loss is considered to be the largest threat to the Arctic Fox population. Due to rising temperatures, sea ice is not as abundant and new plant species are beginning to emerge. Sea ice is important to the Arctic Fox population because they rely on the extra space to find food and there are fewer predators (2). Because the sea ice habitat provides important winter food resources for the Arctic foxes, especially in low lemming population

Vulpes zerda’s head and body are roughly eleven inches long, with a tail around seventeen

The San Joaquin Kit fox is a subspecies of the kit fox, the smallest Canidae species—includes dogs, wolves, and foxes— in North America. The kit fox is the size of a house cat, however is the largest in the subspecies.

Flying foxes, Pteropodidae, are regarded as an important family for forest maintenance and regeneration because they are considered ‘‘keystone’’ seed dispersers (Cox et al. 1991). Over 289 plant species are known to depend on pollination and seed dispersal by flying foxes and 91% of dispersed seeds are handled by flying foxes (McConkey 2006).
