They were thriving in the 1930s, but in 1967, the federal government listed them as endangered, and in 1971, California did the same. The SJ kit fox eats insects, rodents, and rabbits, but will also take advantage of garbage and/or pet food. They have established in cities in California, including Bakersfield, Taft and Coalinga. No one knows how many SJ kit foxes are left. There are estimated around 7,000 left (2007), but that number is declining more every moment. Farmers are destroying their dens for more land for orchards and farms, and companies are doing the same thing by building houses and apartment complexes. We can help, though.
