The old, sly Fox

This is a really old fox. He comes close to people but nevertheless he is a wild animal that keeps a distance to people.

Due to an injury that happend a long time ago he is crippled on one leg. He is skinny and lean but he is getting old in style.

  2. Hi Lori!
    Thank you a lot! This is an arctic fox in its summer fur, which is dark brown to almost black for most, but grey for some foxes. In the winter they turn snowy white.
    He does not - as far as I know - have a name, since he is a wild animal and they rarely get named. He was well known to the ranger, though. That is where we learned his history.
