Description
When: May 30, 2019
Where: Faunapark Flakkee Nieuwe-Tonge, The Netherlands
It wasn't all itching and playing, sometimes the kits took some rest - and appear so sweet yet still so very alert.
Species: Red Fox (Rode vos)
Latin name: Vulpes Vulpes
Originates from the entire Northern Hemisphere, and has been introduced to Australia.
Current status: Least Concern
Did you know:
…The Red Fox is the largest of the three true Foxes, and the most geographically spread.
…It distinguishes itself in its ability to adapt quickly to new and changed environments, and is not enlisted as endangered anywhere.
…Despite its name, the Red Fox is known to appear in abnormal colorings, such as albinos and melanists.
… Silver Foxes are a mutation of the Red Fox, bred for their fur and now finding their way into life-long homes at zoos, saved from being skinned and their pelts sold.

Better than is a fur farm...
I'd rather have them live safe away from people at a zoo

True true...or it being stuffed like a mantle decoration😬. Like if you dont kill it either leave it be or kill it for real reasons. Idk y stuffing animals is even a thing tbh?

So true
I mean, I know there are people who get their deceased pet stuffed and keep it with them forever... But with wild animals, just to say "I shot that because I could"? It's ridiculous.

Yea...honestly Humans are pretty cruel. Unnecessarily cruel tbh. I mean i get hunting was meant for means of survival back then, but now I think it's just seen as a sport; or at least around where I live. There probably are still places around the world where hunting is a necessity, and they would I think and hope respect the animals they hunt. Stuffing an animal to me is like your not giving it peace when it dies, but idk if that's entirely true in thinking that?

Would cheer up sad Forest Corgi with belly rubs.

Hihi, I can't take credit for the title - after naming about 1000 photos myself, I've switched to song titles and lyrics
Thanks, I will take credit for the compliment on my photo

It's like he's thinking, 'Yes, that white spot is the tip of my tail.'

Interesting that they are called red foxes despite being black. Nevertheless, this is a great capture!

Thanks
Well, it's tricky because they're not recognized as a seperate species, kind of like White Tigers.
People pretend they're a species of their own, but they're just a color mutation. The same goes for these guys - they're Silver Foxes, a color mutation bred originally for fur farms.

He looks so lonely in the photo, he needs a good cuddle.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, his siblings and cousins weren't in the mood for cuddles, just for playing with teeth and paws involved
I think he was happy to find a quiet spot. But you're right, a duo in the photo would be cute - but I have those coming up as well
