Abstract

Since the fox arrived in Western Australia from South Australia in the early 1900s it has preyed on our native animals and domestic livestock, traditionally lambs and poultry. With the establishment of a Cashmere goat industry in the State, the potential exists for the fox to become an even greater problem.
