- minus 12 degrees at Dharma mountain today. The fox must have had cold feet, as she tried to get my shoes ;-)
edit: the fallen trees are due to a storm which blew with hurricane force winds, causing a lot of damage to trees, but very little to property. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Some people have been sending me their own fox videos and I'd like to share them here. If you have a video (and I like it) I can share it.

We have a wild fox that sleeps under a wooden house (on stilts), that we have in the garden. In the Summer when we're enjoying the sun she will often come and lie beside myself or my wife. Such a wonderful feeling to make a connection with nature
What a gift. ❤️🦊 🙏

Do you find rabbit bones in your yard? My Dad had several foxes in his front yard a few years ago :)
I love fox so much ❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕
Wow and she's so playful..so cute😂
*What a privilege it is to live this close to nature. When a fox emerges from the woods, it's almost magical.*
It is magical 💚
@@zenellis yip, magical rabies
Foxes are god's greatest gift to man kind.
You mean dogs?
@@mini_tinibrasil3429 Agree to disagree
i agree, the beauty ofa fox is not seen in any other animal the constrast of their colors with the environment just make them stand out so much, they look like mystical creatures
Foxes are friendly, especially when they know they can get food from you. We had a fox that ran around near the house, it got so tame, it would take food from our hands and it was so gentle doing it, not snatching like a dog would do. It would eat it and look at us as much as to say "is that all you got?"
Once they know they can trust you, they have no fear and will sit beside you quite happily.
Beautiful animals, their eyes are mesmerising, almost every colour you can imagine if you look closely.
Raccoons are very smart and friendly too! I feed them. You should try! Just keep calm and don't get too close and you will have a new friend.
Dogs don't normally snatch either in my experience. It's learned behaviour.
@@eeemotion yeah it depends on how they're raised but i like foxes myself more too lol
Not all dogs. The 3 pitbulls I had never snatched food, they took it gently from my hand, the smaller dogs grab the food fast.
Dogs always share their food and water with each other. Even wolves and all animals when they've got more than they need. Just like us, nobody likes to be patted on the head when they're tucking into a meal or have someone play games with it. In fact, it's interesting how many idiots walk around with dogs treats in their pockets, ruining the fun of just saying hello the way dogs and especially pit bulls do best, with plenty of kisses and rubbings, snapping us away from the problems of the day!
I grew up on the east coast of Canada, and with foxes having literally almost no natural predators they are quite abundant, and mostly always friendly. To the point my male tomcat would literally go out and wrestle/play with the neighborhoods fox in the front yard, could even feed the fox hotdogs straight out of my hand. What a beautiful creature!
They actually socialize and domesticate themselves constantly, they actually genetically adapt through domestication syndrome in order to co-exist, so keep it up, the foxes actually desire your hotdogs...although honestly you really should just give them an egg, they will prefer it and its a lot healthier for the adorable little creature to boot (and in nature its like...THE BEST snack they can imagine getting a hold of so your really spoiling them :) )
We live in London UK. Our cat made friends with a young fox. It was lovely to see them gamboling about the garden.
@@vintagebrew1057 Yeah i live in manchester always see my cat literally playing with the local foxes in my front garden at night. Was a bit worried at first but they're all good been doing it for years now haha.
We live in Fredericton NB and there are foxes in our neighborhood 🖤🖤

Some foxes are obsessed with shoes. Where I live you can't put your shoes outside to air them as there's a fox who steals every shoe it can get. Sometimes you find a pile of shoes somewhere in the woods...
Yes, shoes have been disappearing around here!
I think this is due to the smell of elastic and rubbers. for some reason animals love them. I think its the same reason why ferrets steal socks and bras all the time
An Arctic fox I was caring for literally ate my shoelaces. He would do it to the tourists too.
@@shellbullet37 and martens go inside cars and gnaw the rubber off the wiring.
Besides, worn shoes smell and foxes (and dogs) just love smelly things which makes them interesting.
With shoes and pulling his pants and showing him the other way by the woods
Fun fact, the red fox is the most widespread little dude on the planet other than us. They do cities, mountains, jungles, forests etc etc. Crazy smart, adaptable, and of coarse adorable!!!
Best animal
What a beautiful fox. She wanted to play. I hope you get to see her again!❄️🦊
@Jotunn me too
@Jotunn I think she just wanted to borrow his shoes.
@@TonyEnglandUK hehehe... yeah... "borrow" 🤣🤣

@@acreator4268 Muhh?
Someones been feeding them. They're way too open around humans. Still extremely cute though. With how theyre jumping around it mightve played with someone's dog a bit.
Yeah. It’s not normal for a Fox to approach humans. It clearly wasn’t sick so it had to be being fed. Humans shouldn’t do that though unless maybe if they are starving.
@@user-mw6jo7ql1cfor the animals that have met quiet humans who are not prone to shrieking , loud noise or sudden movements it is normal ..traffic dogs guns , hunting and loud children are the off putters .
@@user-mw6jo7ql1c its natural, as weird as it may sound.
To explain why its natural, we need to look at domestication syndrome, something that is practically inherent in all domesticated animals, including foxes!
So, how did that happen to foxes? Well, ignoring the siberian fox farm pets, and looking at nature, foxes have enough similarities with dogs and cats to be useful to humans, and coexistence in urban environments, even bronze age villages in southern germany, cause foxes to genetically adapt, natural selection itself have evolved urban fox populations with it being proven to occur for at least 10.000 years, in an ancient settlement in germany they found domesticated foxes that had been buried with offerings even, those foxes have the same shape of skull as urban fox populations have, effectively the first sign of "dosmetication syndrome", its a process with several steps and the really interesting thing is, that foxes ALWAYS initate step 1 themselves, foxes that live in towns of as few as 6000 people just dont have the same genetics that truly wild foxes have, instead they are much less skittish, i work paper delivery at night and dawn, sometimes noon, and the foxes I see(I wake just a few hours before dusk) all tend to not be concerned about my presence, they do not seek me out, they go about their day, only if my moped is turned on do they run and even then some of them only do so if I am going near the trashcan they are looting, at speed.
Do not feel bad about foxes like the one in this video, it is a natural process that helps them co-exist, nature is not stagnant and being "wild", "urban", and "able to coexist" are not mutually exclusive, if anything humans have a responsibility to guide them and nurture them, we are destroying their habitats and running them over in cars because we are too egoistic to rely on public transport, which itself also makes their lives more difficult, the absolute least you can do is put out a raw egg for the fox that one day settles under your terrace!
@@Elenrai Feeding wildlife is not natural nor is them being tame like that. Research it. They can get used to the presence of humans if humans are always around, but they don’t become tame. They still shy away and run if s human gets close. This fox was not shy enough. It’s been fed. I guarantee it.
@@dzglms Oh no I live in Denmark, we demolished the nature here near conpletely and public transport is solid, but the car still rules, it takes 60 minutes to get to my old home from the capital, takes 40 in a car, its not like in the US, here you will be fine with your feet or a bus that depart every 5-10 minutes, its just an issue of comfort for people with cars here 😅
What a cool encounter. Precious wild fur babies love em! Thank you for sharing.
You'll have to take the hint. She's trying to tell you "I want food". One of the neighbours is probably feeding it.
Now, if this were _Redd Foxx_ , he'd be saying "Gimme some food, you big dummy!"
@@carycomic1954 lol, classic.
This is simply the truth
How did you deduce from the fox's actions that the fox wants food?
@@PaleMist because that is most likely the case here. A wild fox would not get close to a potential threat many times it's size unless it was given food in a process to make that potential threat trustworthy.
❤️ those eyes. And such beautiful conifers and birches. Is this a young fox? Looks like he or she wants you to play!
she looks young and healthy. Haven't seen her again since that day, but others have.
@@zenellis She seemed magical. I hope you see her again. Maybe she'd like a dog toy or stuffed animal. 🙂
@@kmdionis Or a snack... 😋 That usually goes over well. 😉
@@BigMamaDaveX I think she would take a bite of his shoes, if she could.
@@wolfdog7265 That's what I would've thought too! But I've seen red foxes play with stuffed animals and other toys and they seem to know not to rip them up. They are full of surprises. Have you seen the fox who visits the musician in the U.S. to listen to his banjo? Others from her litter, and her mother, don't come near. But this one comes back again and again to sit and listen. I doubt food is involved, he has a child and probably doesn't want to encourage wild animals coming around. Foxes are interesting creatures. I've loved them since my own encounter with one when I was a child.
What an amazing interaction. Most animals would leave immediately after they saw you. The others who stayed would leave after they realized you weren't going to give them food. The fox? She was curious and wanted to understand who you were!
She looks well fed.
Pause at 1:52. That's a cute fox.
What a mess that storm has created.
But what a beautiful lovely fox.
Yes, the storm caused a lot of damage.
Cute Fox. Too bad this guy didn't feed him when he showed up! He could have bonded with that Fox for life!
Exactly my thought... Why didn't he give the fox some food, treats or even a bowl of water? All he did was film and laugh! DUH !!! He really missed out. I'm in the UK (in busy area of North London) and a fox comes into our 'private' car park (about 9pm each evening). So I started going down to sit there and had bought some dog 'snacks'. Now the fox lets me stroke it, while giving it a treat and water in a bowl ! Yes, I also have MANY guilt 'trips/thoughts' - Should I be doing it ? Will it become too reliant on 'humans ? Will it 'trust' humans too much ? What if I cannot turn up ? etc. etc. But, once you gain an animals trust, it's a massive 'fix' that you cannot explain...👍 🇬🇧
Wasn't hungry just playful. It's plump
@@jacksonbrowne6693 - Hopefully !?
@@stewedfishproductions7959 Yeah, in a rural area like this though, getting a fox TOO friendly with people may see it run happily over to someone that's out with a rifle.
As close to heaven on earth when nature chooses you like this.. so cute,I love it
Exactly 💚
Very mischievous yet playful, the blessings of a fox 😻🦊
@übel Thats so cool! :0
That was one bold, curious/happy fox. We had a den on our property for years and a few of them displayed similar behavior. None of them were rabid...mischievous yes.
I like people being nice there is some nice people out there
What a Beautiful home you have. I love that fox. 🙏🏻✌🏻
This makes me happy.
I love Fox's & Wolves! Too bad he didn't offer that cute Fox some food! He would have a friend for life!
At my last house there was a red fox that would randomly run through my yard and down my driveway. I only saw it a couple times but was thrilled when I did. In the middle of the city too.
Funny fox 😉🤗👍🏼! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Brought a smile to my face ☺
🥰
This is when it pays to have a pack of hot dogs.
Eggs! always give them eggs! Hotdogs are not good for them but an egg is!
What an awesome experience!
Aw, Fox mod maker on a fox video. Why am i surprised?
@@wolfcub0545 Research ;)
The Fox's definately melt my heart. Their such a georgous animal. Love them soo much!
This area looks so beautiful to live in, despite it being VERY cold and having trees being risky during storms
Yes, an amazing experience 💚
It’s awesome to see how quick a fox can dart from one direction to another so quickly. Definitely useful for hunting.
0:18 i love how that fox like "cant touch dis"
What an adorable little floof 😍
Amazing -- this fox could be tamed with some food treats.
Our local foxes are like this, usually just after mum has kicked them out. They want to play, wander into the shed and are stood behind you. They've even wandered into homes if the door is open. No side to them, full of fun, they often pinch children's soft toys too and leave them on doorsteps etc.
Beautiful fox! Beautiful area...I want to live there as well!!! 😉
After watching several videos on my recommended about rabies infected animals.....i think im now traumatized man
I love foxes. Beautiful, and very intelligent animals. I don't know how anyone can hunt them. Yeah yeah, you have chickens or ducks. Learn to lock them up at night. I have chickens and have never had a fox problem.
i like foxes too but they also hunt lambs and wotnot. they are invasive.
these animals are wonderful, i've encountered one and i gave it a sausage and the fox loved it so i became close to the fox and pet him sometimes and i have a plan of raising him soon, hopefully it works out i've been studying alot about foxes and i think i have what it takes to raise one
I recently saw a UA-cam video of a fox raptly listening to a man playing his banjo. The fox strolled off when he quit playing.
Must of been one hell of a storm to knock down and uproot all those trees.
Yes it was. 34km per hour gusts which destroyed a lot of forest in the area.
He marked his teritory. Maybe he will be back
this its what i want in my backyard
i love foxes
What a lovely animal! So carefree and playful the way he danced around you!
I follow a woman that rescues foxes that have been injured or taken in as pets when they shouldn't have. She gives them raw eggs once in awhile (not sure how often they should get one) she says there's something in it that's good for their dietary health.
I think she wants you to come. She pulls at your lace, she pulls at your shoe. A typical way of dog-like animals to indicate that you have to come along.
They behave in a physical manner like a dog, but they are curious like a cat.... lol
I love his demeanor, when he sprints twords you at 0:08 and jukes out of the way! His curiosity is also fascinating! What an awesome experience!
Yes. It was very special.
Thank you for this good mood video
I had a pet fox in central mountains of Idaho named Blondie who was always on time for dinner of chicken hearts that I bought in town & served in a dog bowl on the porch 🤗
Stunning! How wonderful. I have two foxes come to see me every evening . So beautiful 💖 Oh had to add this to this comment from 8 weeks ago. We have cub! They bought Thier baby to show us ..how special! Feel very honoured! 💗💕
I love being able to get close to nature like this. You can tell in that first clip that he was cautious and nervous, but at the same time he wanted to play and interact with you. I take it as a personal victory when wild animals can fight past their fear and see me as a friend/ally.
Coyote near local landfill jumped around the same way here in Phoenix, Arizona. Kept her distance. So did I.
Zoomies! After all, it's forest doggo
What a cutie! I love how foxes don’t really get many natural predators in some places, making them playful and friendly
Foxes : An ideal synthesis between Cat and Dog - and what does he ? He is marking his territory - what a sweet "beast" ! Love them

What a beautiful little fox. And thank you for being so nice. To this cute little fox. Thumbs up sir.👍🤗💖
Alternate title: Fox domesticating a human for easy access for food and shelter.
Forget about adopting a fox. I'll tame a pack of these friendly creatures and keep them around as protection animals. They're the perfect asset for humanity.
She's adorable! Try getting ground level with her, it's less intimidating for her.
Truth!
Yep probably better than spinning around trying to pet it lol
Aw, I wonder why he pulled your shoestring. Maybe he thought it was a little snake to eat?
One day you're you're attacked by a wolf and that little fox will come in on a futuristic looking jet and save you, but the wolf will have his own space jet and there would be an epic battle in the sky......
Plus learning about foxes has explained so much about Tails.

Such a beautiful and healthy looking fox. 🧡🧡🧡
Man, now I want a fox. There are many around here, but they are nocturnal.
If you're serious, read up on the Fish and Wildlife laws of your home state. For example; in Alaska, it's _illegal_ to make a pet out of a wild fox. With possible penalties including a $10K fine!
They are also noisy, tear things up, and will dig the shit out of your yard.
Animal's are so much more predictable and likeable. I trust them more than I do most people! Watching them is like a very relaxing experience.
Fox: you can't see me. I'm just an orange blur...
Oh man, you're so lucky! I would love to have a little fox friend!
I’m back 4 months later to say something I wish I said 4 months ago.

Thank you for sharing your experience . How lucky you are to have made friends with such a beautiful creature. Majestic , playful and elusive.
Very lucky 🍀
This is the reason why we need love foxes
There's a reason that fox are known for being cunning/crafty critters. They're remarkably intelligent, and very adept problem-solvers. It's one of the reasons we have the saying of "finding a fox in the hen-house", because despite numerous attempts to keep them out, foxes will still find a way to get in and get at the hens.
They are also incredibly quick, with lightning-fast reflexes. Makes most other animals look like they're standing still. It's still advised not to feed or try and pet them, as they are wild. Anytime a wild animal associates humans with food, the result is almost invariably disastrous, and either the human or the animal can get hurt because of it.
Such a lovely creature, like an angel in disguise.
poor little floof is hungry,give her some blueberries,pumpkin or eggs to eat
It's a wild animal the fox ain't starving
@@HPFan4Life81 seriously just because it's wild it means they can't starve ? so inteligent i never thought of that
What a character. We’ve had a couple in our backyard over the years, but they never come anywhere near us.
I've never seen a fox. A quick web search just now confirmed, Florida is not part of their range. But, they seem so neat! Kinda like a frisky cat-dog cross.
Animals can see what’s in your heart!
What a wonderful experience for you -- one that few humans are lucky enough to have!
Beautiful animal. I'd imagine that fox has lived close to you and other people for quite some time; it wasn't especially shy and even wanted to play.
Great video!
Yeah, she has been exposed to some pretty nice people. Foxes can be tamed, but it takes a lot of work.
Yes, the place is a meditation centre. Good vibes ❤️
No person in this world can tame an animal.
@@corainight5378 he he he he
I love her black socks. So cute!
That is a very healthy, very well-adjusted fox. Because it's cold outside, he's keeping active. He's not fearful of the human; he's hoping for "chase-play," where you run after the fox and make him exert energy. That's why he's tugging at the shoestring... he wants you to chase.
Back when I lived in Kodiak, Alaska, we had a local fox in our neighborhood everyone called Limp or Limpy because of his well...limp. He was super friendly and would play with you just like this. I would throw pinecones for him and he'd chase and pounce on them.
Man Kodiak? Isntthat the place were the most huge Bears on the freakin planet are living?
@@faultier3215 Yeah, they're huge! Just before we moved away we had a big one come rifle through our "bear proof" giant metal dumpster. It tossed it around like a tin can. We lived on the USCG base so we called up base security to scare it off. I'm so glad it didn't know how much easier doors and windows are to break open!
I had a mama fox coming around my place . she came back with 4 babies . I have her babies 2 females left that are 1year old and they come around also I feed them leftovers from my cooking . the mama and her 2 girls still visit very playful
That fox sure was friendly and looks like it loved your shoe laces.
Just like a cat. Gotta let them warm up to you. Gotta be playful with them. Just takes time
I love him. I sad that feeding foxes is illegal where i live, and how foxes who act too friendly get shot. It genuinely makes me cry, since befriending a fox has always been one of my childhood dreams.
It's only illegal if you get caught. Unjust laws need only be respected insofar as the enforcement.
Sure is pretty! Perfect markings,and full of a mix of play,energy and just enough trust to stay safe,I hope.
I hope so too
The fox is so Swift on its feet. It's almost as if its gliding on air. Just a little push and then it goes flying the other way. Like an animated character
Foxes are one of my favorite forest creatures and I would love to get near one and pet and play with it. So beautiful even tho they got a reputation of being sneaky and cunning and such.
