Rambo (2018 – c. October 2022) was the name given to a feral red fox (Vulpes vulpes) that survived for more than four years in a fenced wildlife conservation area in the Pilliga forest, New South Wales. Rambo was regularly photographed by camera traps but evaded all attempts to trap, poison, or shoot him, delaying the planned reintroduction of several threatened mammal species. He was named for John Rambo, the main character in the 1982 film First Blood.
