  1. San Joaquin By: Karen Shao #24 Evergreen ES Mrs. Chang 4th grade

  2. My SCIENTIFIC NAME: • Vulpes Macrotis

  3. My DIET: • kangaroo rats •  cottontail rabbits • black-tailed jackrabbits • meadow voles • hares •  prairie dogs • insects • lizards • snakes • fish • ground-dwelling birds • mice • antelope squirrel • vegetation & grasses

  4. My APPEARANCE: • large ears,2.8-3.75 inches, great hearing to beware of predators • gray coat with rusty tints; back is darker while belly & inner ears are lighter; dark patches around the nose • body is 18-21 in. • bushy, 9.85-13.4 in. tail • coat camouflages with surroundings

  5. My Natural Enemies: • coyotes • red foxes • large hawks • owls • eagles • bobcats • domestic dogs • large raptors

  6. My SELF DEFENSE: • digging escape burrows where they hunker down until it's safe to come out

  7. Where I Live • San Joaquin Valley (mostly on the southeastern part)

  8. My PUPS: • are born when the kit fox is about one year old • are born in February or March • emerge from underground when they are around one month of age • usually have many brothers and sisters, as they are born ranging 2-6 pups • taken care of by

  9. My STATUS: • declared endangered • Defenders of Wildlife and other conservations working on how to revive San Joaquin kit foxes

  10. My THREATS: • changes in precipitation pattern, including reduced rainfall and increase changes of drought, all caused by climate change • change in the Central Valley from open grasslands to farms, orchards, houses and roads causes greatest impact • roads, orchards, houses, and farms lead to death, injury, illness, and difficulty finding a mate or food • floods and suffocating because of cave ins

  11. FACT-a-THON • I am the smallest species of the fox to be found in America, weighing only 5 pounds • I don’t need freshwater to survive, since it’s in my food. • My large ears might help dissipate body heat and detect tiny noises/sounds. • I’m one of a kind- an umbrella species(protecting my habitat will save other animals too)! • I can move between 30 different dens and roam 9 miles in search of food at night. • Carrizo Plain is where the largest kit fox, my relative, lives. • nocturnal animals
