The IUCN says the Bengal fox, currently listed as near threatened, could move into the endangered category in its ongoing reassessment.
More than 4,500 video clips over three months show insects at 19 per cent of the fox's diet, birds 18 and rodents 8; listed as vulnerable on Bangladesh's IUCN Red List, the species has no Forest Department programme to protect it.
