fox, designated an at-risk species, is native to the wide open short- and
mixed-grass prairies of western Nebraska, where it can keep watch for
predators and feed on smaller animals such as prairie dogs, mice and
reptiles. While 40 percent of the state still consists of what researchers
consider to be suitable habitat for swift fox, the project aims to determine
why the species isn't using available grassland habitat.
