San Miguel Island Fox
The San Miguel Island Fox is a small subspecies of the island fox found exclusively on San Miguel Island in California. Weighing between 2 to 6 pounds, these foxes have a distinctive grayish-brown coat and a bushy tail. They primarily feed on fruits, insects, and small animals, playing a crucial role in the island's ecosystem.
This fox is adapted to the unique environment of San Miguel Island, which is part of the Channel Islands National Park. Conservation efforts have been implemented to protect the species, as it faces threats from habitat loss and introduced predators. The population has shown signs of recovery due to these efforts.
