Try To See It My Way

When: April 29, 2017
Where: ZieZOO Volkel, The Netherlands

You might notice some of our photos are differently framed or sized; this is because in some zoos and especially some of the enclosures, the fencing is thin and vertical - making it very hard to photograph in some instances. These Silver Foxes have one of those enclosures. Since they're often quite inquisitive, they also tend to stroll really close to the fence, making it that much harder to photograph them. So at times, we need to edit out the fencing

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.
