Counting the bodies: feral cats and foxes have devastated populations of Australian reptiles, birds and mammals. Every year, about 2.6 billion animals are killed. Not so happy about this. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Introduced to Australia ~150 years ago, the red fox devastated local wildlife. 70% of samples contain mammals, half are native species. Foxes eat everything (cf. dingoes preferring large prey and feral cats small prey) #InvasiveSpeciesWeek @Mammal_Society onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
