For Fox Sake

This one better? There is a pretty wide gradient between silver and black they can be.

The place by my work has 2 red fox (Vulpes vulvpes, one being grey) and 2 actual grey fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). The guy working there said you can tell the difference between a grey fox and a silver fox one way because the silver fox still has the white tail tip because it is still really a red fox.

I just looked for a pic on their feed and found this one. I guess it's more red than I've ever noticed. It's usually either hidden or curled up sleeping.

The silver parts look pretty silver here. I thought it looked darker last week when I visited, but I mainly go there to hang with the raptors. I'll have to check again tomorrow now...

You can see the white tail tip here though and see it with the normal red fox.
