Red... Pearl... Black...
That's enough internet for today.
Remember that fashion colors are expensive lies, and these foxes were rescued from a fur farm because the owner died and they were left in even more deplorable conditions than all the other fucking fox-fur farms.
Do not go typing in search terms of "silver fox fur" (or whatever color) like I did, because now I'm depressed and angry. I can inform you that a "pearl" fox fur pelt is basically blonde, and "silver" is closer to Sadie's coloring, so I think the person misspoke.
I was just at ZooTampa last month and thought it was a nice place, so hopefully these guys will be enjoying themselves from now on!
Well, blonde is closer to the color I associate with pearls, so that tracks. And after seeing actual silver foxes below I see it makes sense too. But then calling an all black fox by a color name that ostensibly doesn't mean black is just... well, it's one of the choices of all time. So this is a red fox, with a silver coat, which is why it's black. Got it.
