  Lioncrusher's Domain -- Cape Fox (Vulpes chama) facts and pictures
Cape foxes feed on rodents, rabbits, insects, reptiles, eggs, fruit, berries, seeds, and small amounts of carrion and human refuse.
In some areas of their range, the cape fox's population is increasing, in others it is declining because farmers believe they persecute their livestock.
The foxes actually just scavenge on the carcasses, they do not kill the baby lambs, but the farmers do not believe this and kill cape foxes in large numbers.

 MURKOWSKI AMENDS CAPE FOX LAND BILL TO MEET JUNEAU CONCERN; CONTINUES TO SUPPORT MINE DEVELOPMENT
Murkowski, during a formal subcommittee hearing regarding the proposed Cape Fox Land Entitlement Adjustment Act of 2003 (S. 1354) and another Southeast bill, said she has decided to make the changes as a result of public testimony in Juneau during a town meeting on the land exchange held last September.
She said the restriction prevented Cape Fox from selecting valuable land, not only in its core township but in surrounding lands, partially because its selection area was restricted by the Annette Island Indian Reservation.
She added the provision effectively forced Cape Fox to select non-productive, non-economic mountainous lands, causing the corporation’s shareholders to be sorely disadvantaged over the years.

Canidae is the family of carnivorous and omnivorous mammals commonly known as canines.
When mating, male canines develop a distinctive knot (the bulbis glandis) at the base of the erect penis which tends to trap the phallus inside the female's vagina for some time after copulation, ensuring greater reproductive success.
Note that the subdivision of Canidae into "foxes" and "true dogs" may not be in accordance with the actual relations, and that the classification of several canines is disputed.
