Frank The Fox - Colorado Red Fox

This guy was a joy to hang out with some mornings during breakfast on a horse ride. He would run around the general property taking scraps and food from anyone that would give him so. Besides making a lot of friends, he garnered a few different names as well, but in the end Frank won out. He is apparently a Red Fox according to the sources I dug up. These guys are also present in Texas. They are either redder or predominately cream colored, and have a lot less fur in the summer. From the research I did, I think this Colorado Division of Wildlife website needs to be updated. It lists 4 main species of foxes, but not a whole lot else. I found evidence of many other kinds living in Colorado, everthing from black foxes, multi-colored variations and so on.

Interestingly enough, according to this website Foxes in Colorado have been on the rise over the last 10 years. They are now cohabitating in close quarters with humans on a urban basis. Cute, yes but not necessarily a good thing sometimes.

This was the best image I could get, and I think one of the best of him while I was in Colorado. It was very early in the morning so the sun is a bit intense at such a low angle. However, its rather sharp and he is positioned well. Enjoy!
