Red Fox Spotted For The First Time In 100 Years

[hpman66]

Don't get all excited, I am not talking about Redd Foxx(long since past(along with Elvis) and gone to that junk yard in the sky) from the Sanford And Son TV show. :wink: :lol: :mrgreen: These little critters must be pretty hardy and tenacious to hang on this long--ya think? Now if we could just find Big Foot, we would really be on to something.

I saw one at Virginia Beach two years ago.... in fact it is at the tannery right now.

Isn't that the quick red fox that I see jumping over the lazy brown dog all of the time? :-)

Yellowstone may also harbor a remnant population of the Rocky Mountain locust, responsible for locust plagues through the end of the 19th century.

There are plenty of red foxes around here. Lots of fox hunters who enjoy listening to their dogs chase them. They don't kill 'em. Just leave them to chase another day.

I guess that the Red Fox is not as endangered/extinct as I thought. Here is a list of The 45 Most Endangered Species In America:

The original article refers to a specific subspecies of fox. As others have noted, there is no shortage of other fox species.

Had a red colored fox in my driveway last year, and I live in the middle of a mid-sized city.

We have both red and grey fox here in SW Texas. Also have Ringtails.

Here is a link that shows the fox in question (Sierra Nevada Red Fox) and not the more common Red Fox.

I would rather see Red Fox than all these Coyote.
