I love Fox, they are highly misunderstood animals because they are opportunists (much like raccoons but are much smarter than the raccoon). I've seen them often where I live and love their personality. Very wary animals while also being naturally inquisitive
Rabies is a horrible thing. Ohhh yes i was very lucky to talk to such a stunning wild animal it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when they pay you attention. I just wished we had camera phones bk then
I love those eyes he/ she looks in excellent condition here red foxes can live a little longer than 4 yrs but its the road that gets them unfortunately. We are lucky in uk we dont have rabbies. The incredable noise foxes make is like a womans scream its quite blood curdling. I used to chat to a fox that often would pass my house after a few wks i would see him/her sitting in the garden like she was waiting for our chat she was stunning
