AM25013Local high concentration of Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) observed during lambing in northern New South Wales, Australia
Red foxes are a major predator of livestock and wildlife in Australia, yet their local behaviour during key farming events is not well understood. We documented an unusually high number of foxes – 21 in 1 h – drawn to a lambing event in northern New South Wales, with more appearing over the following days. This highlights how strongly foxes respond to lambing, with important implications for predator control and livestock protection during vulnerable periods.
