Red Fox in the Snow

That is unfortunate, it's is such a beautiful creature. I see fox all the time by my house in Colorado, but have never seen any like this. This is really a great capture.

Savanna, you are probably most correct. There is numerous subspecies and a multitude of varieties. Cross breeding occurs around the world. I am not a mamologist, however, "Despite its name, the species often produces individuals with abnormal colourings, including albinos and melanists. Forty-five subspecies are currently recognised, which are divided into two categories" Nevertheless, I was most fortunate to get the photos of this wonderful creature. Unfortunately, it was injured when I first saw it. So, I put out some food to help it through the winter. It came back for 3 -4 days, then never again. I think the injuries were too severe. Unfortunate. The photographs which I took were at such an angle as to obscure the injuries. Doug

This is beautiful, ha ha im pretty sure this isn't a red fox though, looks more like a mix between a black fox.
