Swift Fox Study
The swift fox is one of the smallest foxes in North America. It is the northern relative of the kit fox. Because it lives in ranch country, it is vulnerable to the affects of agriculture. The swift fox helps the farmer by eating mice and insects, and the farmer does not usually exterminate him on purpose. Agricultural pesticides and monoculture, however, have wiped out the swift fox in much of its original range. - Robert Bateman
