Abstract

A holistic analysis of the problem of predation by wild animals, in this case foxes on neonatal sheep, is carried out. The prey species is investigated through the necropsy study of specimens killed prima facie by predation and the predator species through the study of feeding habits. Both studies are complementary to generate a global vision of the problem.
