Description This is Sammy, a fox who decide to be photogenic.

He's a gray fox who happens to only have three legs.

Unlike pelts that are damaged because of trapping, Sam's leg shows signs that this occurred prior to his death. The skin and fur is underdeveloped compared to his left leg, leading me to believe he was born with a birth defect or injured himself and lost the leg before he was skinned.

On another note, Sam is really big for a gray. He measures around 46" long. Not the largest in the world, but pretty darn big for a guy who lived life with 1/4 of him missing. He's 100% thug though. I can totally see him running his side of the forest like a boss. Shows that nature has a way of never giving up !

This pelt is solely for furthering of my studies about of natural world. I respect this pelt the same way I would respect a living creature.

I am unsure of the cause of Sam's death.

I'm quite humbled to care for the remains this beautiful creature and I treat him with the highest respect. He is used as an invaluable art reference as well as an educational piece.

Ask questions before jumping to conclusions. I'll be happy to quell any fears about Sam.

He looks so much like my female! Lol but he's much more photogenic, my female has the face of a gargoyle. XD But she is only two inches smaller than him. Lol She's a big female.

I think Coyote would be a cute name for her :3! And I totally get ya. I'm waiting on a few items to come in before I do my full update. I still can't wait to see your cross soft mount =0w0=

Yeah I really like Coyote too, it sort of fits being as she was listed as one. xD But my male gray soft mount might be named Ryuk when he gets here, and Rem and Ryuk go together, so that is why I haven't decided yet, I'm waiting for my little gray to arrive in like end of November. Lol
Haha well my cross should be here as early as Monday and hopefully no later than Wednesday! x3 there will definately tons of photos of him! Lol
