A Fed Fox is a Dead Fox: The Negative Impacts of Feeding Wildlife for Photographs

View A habituated red fox (Vulpes vulpes) begs for food from cars, a result of being fed in the past by other people. This type of behavior is dangerous for both the fox and the people. The fox has a much higher risk of being hit by a car while trying to stay close to the road for handouts. It can also lose fear of humans and begin approaching people who may, as a result, perceive the animal as aggressive. © Jennifer Leigh Warner
