Foxes consumed a total of 16 food items including small mammals (Lepus capensis,Meriones spp ,Rhombomys opimus,Cricetulus migratorius,Mus musculus,Allactaga elater ),Passeriformes,Coleoptera,Orthoprera,Eremias velox and plantss Meriones spp. and Rhom- bomys opimus were the most important food items throughout both periods,accounting for41 0% and 16 5% by percentage and 48 2% and 19 7% percent frequency of occurrence in fecal samples ,respectively Red fox food niche breadth was 2 narrow (B = 0 23 ) Based on contingency-table analysis,diets differed between the two periods (Pearson’s χ test,P sta = 0 001 0 01 ;Likelihood Ratio χ2 test,P = 0 001 0 01 ).
