Rare Black Fox Footage

[boguebrad]

i just saw one of these in my aunts yard while i was walking her dog it sounded like it was going to attack so i pulled out my throwing knife but it wouldnt come out from under my dads truck i live in Tennessee

[Penguin23450]

@boguebrad I hope you didnt kill it :(

[Kimzy1313]

I just saw one last night! I thought it was a dog at first but when I stopped my car (in the middle of the road at night..hah) and got a good look I saw the bushy tail and it looked exactly like that one. I looked it up and it's a good omen :)

[smguy101]

There's a black fox with a red fox that lives up around the cadet area at the Air Force Academy. The Cadets have adopted them as unofficial mascots

[DntToachTheChoclate]

It's an artic fox it's fur has changed colour

[ambersdarkfox]

@DntToachTheChoclate Red fox not artic. They used to be a more common sight in England but due to over hunting for pelts and various reason their now more rare. Seeing a black fox is among the rarest sights you will see in a fox.

[Kylifornia]

@DntToachTheChoclate It is actually a melanistic red fox. Arctic foxes have small ears and their bodies are more stout.

[LShouldnotDie]

Beautiful! I love foxes. :)

[NyxFTW]

-cocks shotgun- He'd make a purdy scarf...

...just kidding.

[b1v2p3video]

I just saw one in Denver, crossing a golf course.

[ainatara]

aww..so adorable. n.n

[tuvoca]

I saw a black fox about a week ago. The only part that wasn't black was the clean, white tip of the tail. Very cool. I saw it in Denver (in the city).

[0TheDreamState0]

Wow, you're really lucky to have gotten to see one. That's probably never going to happen again!

[nicholasbhicks]

thats different than a silver fox isnt it?

[MyGracely]

she is so cute!!!!!!!!!!! did you see those little feet

[ApogeeSkin]

@MyGracely I just saw a black fox with a white tip tail in Fort Collins Colorado. It looked to be fairly young. Beautiful creature!!!

[MyGracely]

she is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!

[KikkiTheWitch1]

oh wow last time i saw a fox it was a red fox. i was waiting at a bus stop for school bus and he ran out of the woods chasing a bunny. he lost his meal though didn't expect me and we both froze for a moment and our eyes met, then he turned and walked off maybe to go find another rabbit. it was incredible and i will never forget that moment.

[wcohlefeta]

We recently saw a black fox on our way home from Giant Eagle, in Rochester, PA. The tip of his tail was white, he was PREETTTYYY.

[spoiledbrat008]

actually the black fox aint rare, theres lots here in northern canada ^_^ see them all the time on the highway

[Opalca]

beautiful! you dont see this very often!

[MegaPuffle]

Wow! It reminds of the Midnight fox =)

[alicecullenvampyre]

Aww it's so cute! They are really fluffy! I would love to see one!

[Tabbypelt]

Such a beautiful fox! I have only seen a fox in person once. It was at my grandparents cabin and was red. X3

[thefreakofnaturesm]

Black foxes are a real treat of nature!

[Ginnymo62]

Awesome! I have never even heard of a black fox before.. It's beautiful! I have Gray fox here.

[FoxBullet]

Wow, I'd never realized a fox COULD be black! Cool!

[hybridcatthing]

Pretty :D Lucky siting. I have never seen a while silver fox... only the red colourations.

[claritonclear]

this is most likely a "cross fox", it could be a hybrid. i didnt see a white tip on the tail making it a true black "red fox". it is a rare sight indeed no matter what it is.

[dizzydiver18866881]

@claritonclear Yes, it is a black cross fox. A color phase of red fox. I have see a few cross fox but only 1 all black like this one before.

[hybridcatthing]

@claritonclear Not all foxes have white tail tips. I have seen quite a few with only a few hairs or no white at all. It's a silver phase red fox.

[Zoeycat123]

Daw, he's a cutie.

Foxes are like dogs trying to look like cats. Or teeny-weeny, much less intimidating little wolves.

[shinobi300]

dosent the black fox fur turns white

[Nightbreed24]

They're beginning to adapt everywhere. My chum has seen a fox from the window of his flat. He lives in the middle of a city with 150 000 inhabitants. And not just foxes. Polecats, badgers and martens are doing it too. I live in a suburb and I see their excrement everywhere.

[Enstanada]

awesomeness

[MilesTailsPrower2008]

amazing shot! is there an actually two tailed fox? my friend said she saw one sometime but i dont know if its true

[SnowVixen89]

It is so beautiful!

[bupo113]

Yes, he is quite the sight!

[CreamFoxdreams]

It is soooo cute!!!

[Ace2426]

i live in Florissant, and i see the black fox too

[youneedjesus336]

that certain fox is rare but in eastern russia they breed foxes on fur farms that are black. thats just a queinceydence the 1 in the video. there in russia and china

[aj863]

Is this really your video? I saw pictures of this in the UK newspapers.

[bupo113]

Yes, I shot this footage in by back yard. Which UK paper did you see this is?

[aj863]

It was in the Sun newspaper, though I may have been mistaken, it may not have been this exact video, i'll see if i can find out.

[hifrommentiltown]

i never knew there were such a thing as a blsck fox u guess u learn somthing new every day

[bupo113]

This black fox is a genetic anomoly. The right genes came together and here his is.

[Miidniight404]

I heard the black fox was a red fox in a different stage where its fur was colored differently, usually when it's young.

Can a fox stay black its entire life time or will it eventually turn red?

[TheBeatfox]

Red foxes can come in red phase, silver/black phase, and cross phase (in the wild, at least) - "phase" just refers to their coloration pattern and doesn't have anything to do with their life stage. They maintain their genetically-determined coloration for their whole lives, though as newborns their fur in general is darker.

[SnowVixen89]

And 'white' phase!

[TheBeatfox]

Yep, although I believe whites and marbles have only been bred in captivity (on fur farms, etc.). Correct me if I'm wrong, but those phases haven't been known to occur in the wild.

[SnowVixen89]

I wish people could outlaw fur farms.

[pkcod4banksy]

it is bad luck

[ronnorules]

hey these are lovely

where abouts did you flim this ?

[bupo113]

I filmed this in my back yard in Florissant, Colorado.

[Tigera89]

He is beutifal. Try a hrad boyld egg next time. X]

[LoverofHuskys]

lol lured with pizza

[bupo113]

This little guy usually comes around after I start my grill. He loves pizza and cold cuts!

[LoverofHuskys]

i had a friend (in england) who used to feed red foxes in his garden with chicken, they got so tame in the end he could pet them and pick them up ^^

[nicholasbhicks]

[bupo113]

I have seen many tan foxes living here. This is the first black one i've seen.
