The Channel Islands Fox is a small mammal native to the Channel Islands of California. It is a subspecies of the Island Fox and is known for its distinctive grayish-brown fur and large ears. These foxes are adapted to their island habitat, where they primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and fruits. Channel Islands Foxes are typically about 24 inches long and weigh between 4 to 6 pounds. They are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and they play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to control the populations of their prey. Conservation efforts have been implemented to protect this unique species from threats such as habitat loss and introduced predators.
