He looks kinda worried in the second pic, don't you think?
it's the eyebrows...
that's what I love about dogs/dog-relatives/etc... the expressive eyebrows...

How adorable!!! Has anyone heard of the Russian (well, it was the USSR when it started) Tame Fox breeding program? Probably still ongoing, but having funding trouble -- there was talk of selling some of them as pets. I want one!!

I can't help it. I'm reading the entry in the voice of Steve Martin as one of the Czech brothers from Saturday Night Live.

Boy, that is one SWINGING FOX!

(And, he's so cute I think I might die.)

Aww. What a sweetie!

I wonder if they found *him* in a Quizno's cooler.

Usually I can contain my oohs and aahs internally. Not this time. What an adorable behbeh.

AuntiMame...they released "Adrian" yesterday in a forest preserve west of Chicago. He's now roaming what's left of the Chicago "countryside".

OMG! He looks like a toy! I want him!

*squeals delightedly*

I wanna snorgle those perfect ikkle paws!

Do some states actually allow you to keep foxes as pets? WANT ONE.

I'd love to know the story behind this little one's "adoption".

It sure is beautiful!

I lurve foxes. Bebeh or grown up, I think they are absolutely the cutest little things. I used to live over in Wellington County here in Ontario, and one evening while driving home from Guelph on the back roads with a friend, we spied a fox coming up out of the roadside ditch and sauntering towards the woods that were between the boundry lines of two farms. It was just before the county road we had to turn onto and we both squeed and I stopped the car so we could watch the little fellow. He actually stopped, turned around, sat down and looked right back at us.

Right now, early April, baby red North American foxes, (kits, cubs) are being born in their cozy dens. While the babies eyes are still shut, Mama only leaves the den for a drink of water. Dad brings food. The young will go off on their own late this fall/early winter.

Russia has succesfully domesticated their silver fox. The red fox could be domesticated, but the U.S. has a rabies problem that Russia doesn't have, and therefore, the U.S. has rabies vaccine laws, and, please correct me if this is old information, but I think there has not been a rabies vaccine approved for foxes (or coyotes, wolves, hybrids, etc.).

They are beautiful and, while I admire their craftiness, they sure can be naughty sometimes. Kinda admire that too. ;-)

sorry if i sound nuffie, but i dont think its in the best interest of any wild animal to be kept as a pet.

that being said, these bebehs are adorable. the 2nd one kinda looks "baroo?"

jen
 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 07:28 AM

Has anyone seen that documentary Grizzly Man? If you love foxes, you *must* watch it. The foxes are like his little wild friends... they sleep near him and let him pet them, and at one point they steal his hat and run off... so cute!

Grizzly Man is somewhat disturbing, though.

I can't wait until we can adopt foxes as pets. I lurve them.

Awwwwwwww, what a sweet fox baby!!! Love the second pic.

So sweet!!! The dark paws are too much. I love the way they 'mouse'---my kitten actually reminds me of a fox . . .

Cute as a kitten, well, not quite, but cute.

But I hate to be a spoilbrat but I can imagine the fox turning around and BITING YOUR FACE OFF when you try to snorgle him/her as an adult fox.

Catman Dude =^-.-^=

that fox looks kinda sad!

 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 07:37 AM

Baroo? So cute! But ... sad? Worried? Definitely not real happy looking. Cheer up lil fella!

SeaBreeze
 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 07:44 AM

jen, judging by his size, i am betting that he was abandoned as a kit and is being raised by someone. i don't think he is a domesticated pet.

 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 07:55 AM

OMG foxes! He's so cute <3

Pointy_bunnyc
 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 07:57 AM

His eyes look blue--how cute!

Pyrit--your comments on daddy fox bringing food reminds me of the Roald Dahl book "Fantastic Mr Fox"--great kids book!

Man that's cute. I would love to hear more of the story about this fox! Anybody?

Golden
 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 08:07 AM

Is the fox older in the second pic? It looks more...foxy. Erm, in the foxlike sense.

A beautiful, sweet little foxy guy. What a face! I think I'm in love!

ThreeCatNight

Good god. That fox should hang out with the mouse in the snow. They could share sunflower seeds and destroy us all for being soooo cute together. Destroy us all! Destroy us all! Destroy us all!

The Guy Over There

He is so cute! I wish I had one, (sob!) Oh well, I can only dream.

 |  Apr 06, 2007 at 08:19 AM

Dang he's a cutie pie! I want to hug him and squeeze him and call him George...

As for the fox in Chicago, the funniest thing that struck me was the line: "The officer didn't have far to go; he was at the Dunkin' Donuts next door."

But the top picture in the article was quite funny as well ;-)

*SILENT SHRIEK*

Aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww!

The first pic is definitely of a younger kit, whether it's the same one as the second pic or not (is it? I can't tell). Baby red foxes are born with greyish fur and blue eyes, and turn brown later, then reddish, while their eyes go yellowish. Pretty things, whatever their stage of development.

Lookit the ears and the eyes and the paws and the little wet noses and the whiskers and the fluff and......

*passes again...AGAIN!!!*

When I was in college, a pair of foxes built their den in the "forest" behind our dormitory. In the spring the kits frolicked around in the mornings, completely oblivious to the herds of groggy college students stumbling off to their 8:00 classes. A few times, they darted right across the sidewalk in front of me.

I heard that Russia had a group of people who have exploited the domestication gene in foxes and are making them very docile. Looking at this picture, I can only say, "OMG! F0X3Z! I want one!"

heidilynn - Roald Dahl and his books are great.

We were on a narrow gauge train a couple years ago, going slowly through a small town, and there was a fox, sitting right on the tracks, facing the train. It did not move. The conductor stopped the train, blew the whistle at it, then took a cigarette break. The passengers looked at the fox looking back at the people. Ten minutes went by before the fox decided to let the train go on.

Why can't we have a pic of the coyote in the cooler? He was very cute, poor sweetie.

Someone already did the "swingin' foxES" joke! But these are adorabulls!
