This weird fox is wandering around my neighbourhood. We also have normal foxes too. There is a normal one in the second photo for comparison. What’s going on with this one?

  1. Woah that’s crazy. I would guess either covered in dust, or albino. What a rare spot!

  2. There’s 3 in my back garden. They are just cubs I think and they haven’t developed yet their final fur.

  4. That is a cursed ghost fox, please avoid, paranormal encounter agents will be there to return it to it’s home plane shortly

  5. It’s rude to ask a Fox its genus 😌

    >In the UK, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the only native and most common type of fox. While other fox species exist worldwide, the red fox is the sole species naturally found in the UK. Although primarily reddish-brown, red foxes can exhibit color variations like black (melanistic), white (leucistic and albino), and piebald (with white patches).

  6. He looks like a leucistic fox. Only has a bit of pigment in his coat and his eyes are a normal colour. An albino would be a total lack of pigment so white with pink eyes.

    Pretty rare I should think!

  12. It looks like a young, skinny red fox with a melanin deficiency. Head over to r/RealLifeShinies for your karma!

  14. Does it have fur? If it’s lost its fur it could have mange.

  16. As was posted earlier a Fantastic Mr Fox *(Vulpis Fantasticus)* can blend in to any colour to avoid predators you can see from his fur changing to match the beige wall.

    Some have been known to get on buses parked on bus stands in early mornings and blend in with the turquoise Arriva seat moquette startling bus drivers in their cab 🤓

  23. It’s just a fox cub, about 4 or 5 months old. Probably a female. I’ve got two that look just like that living in my garden. The males are a bit darker and more orange at that age. They were very cute when they were smaller but now they destroy stuff in my garden every night and leave sloppy shits for me and I look forward to them pissing off!

  25. She’s a pup. When I lived in London there was a fox den at the end of my garden. I went apeshit when I saw one chasing my cat, until they changed positions and my cat chased it. They were playing, and it’s probably because my cat was an 8kg Maine Coon and fox sized.

  27. Are you around the Forest Gate area? I’ve had a fox that looks just like that in my garden recently.

  31. Needs some hearty meals. Smallest is lowest in packing order and other cub looks far plumper
