Best Answer

Foxes eat carrion and catch live rabbits and other small mammals. They also eat beetles and various other small creatures.

So a fox is a predator in the food chain. The main enemy of the fox is the human who will disturb the vixen's den where she gives birth to her offspring. People also will shoot and poison foxes.

In the countryside foxes live to around 5 years but they are able to live much longer in places where they don't get killed by road traffic or human action.

Foxes also have moved into the towns and will scavenge for food in bins.

What effects did the red fox have on the ecosystem?

the red fox's habitat might include forest edges, meadows and the bank of a river. The niche of the red fox is that of a predator which feeds on the small mammals, amphibians, insects, and fruit found in this habitat. Red foxes are active at night. They provides blood for blackflies and mosquitoes, and are host to numerous diseases. The scraps, or carrion, left behind after a fox's meal provide food for many small scavengers and decomposers. This then is the ecological niche of the red fox. Only the red fox occupies this niche in the meadow-forest edge communities. In other plant communities different species of animal may occupy a similar niche to that of the red fox. For example, in the grassland communities of western Canada and the United States, the coyote occupies a similar niche (to that of the red fox.)
