About the size of a house cat, this wily little creature is the smallest fox found in the U.S.

這狡猾小生物的體型與家貓差不多，是在美國能找到最小的狐狸。

程度副詞

But even at five pounds, they are the largest land mammal on the Channel Islands off the coast of California.

但即使重量只有五磅，牠們仍然是加州沿海的海峽群島上最大型的陸地哺乳類。

Island foxes are descendants of mainland gray foxes, but have grown smaller over thousands of years to adapt to the limited resources of their island homes.

島嶼灰狐是大陸灰狐的後代，但為了適應島嶼棲息地上有限的資源，於是他們在幾千年後體型逐漸變小。

In recent years, a chain of events caused these little foxes to be federally listed as endangered.

近年來，一連串的事件導致這些小狐狸被聯邦政府列為瀕臨絕種的物種。

Bald eagles once lived harmoniously with the island fox, never considering them as food.

禿鷹曾經和島嶼灰狐和平相處，從未將牠們當作食物。

But then, the less forgiving golden eagles arrived in the Channel Islands, and began preying upon the island fox, hunting them to near extinction.

但之後，沒那麼仁慈的金鵰到了海峽群島上，並且開始獵食島嶼灰狐，將牠們獵捕到接近絕種。

But through a recovery program, the golden eagles were relocated and the island fox population is on the rise again.

但經過了復育計畫，金鵰被重新安置，島嶼灰狐的數量也重新上升。
