Catalina Foxes Back After Near Extinction
Avalon, California - A unique subspecies of fox that is about the size of a house cat is back from the brink of extinction on Santa Catalina Island and can survive on its own thanks to a captive breeding program, the head of a nonprofit group that manages most of the island said Tuesday.
With the release of the remaining foxes in the coming weeks, the program will come to an end, said Ann Muscat, president of the Catalina Island Conservancy.
