Someone sent me a video clip of some fox cubs and I thought "Why not?" but when the clip arrived I let out a "Oh, wow!"

In case you are wondering why I was surprised it's because it is a cross fox cub. There are two and both same as is the mother who was apparently very dark red last year but colouration has changed.

The darker colour has only become apparent in the last year and it suggests that there may be some North American Red Fox blood in their ancestry. The foxes are well out of the way from trouble so we'll keep an eye on them as they grow.

Below a "black" fox spotted in Bristol. The darker fur colouration is becoming far more common and in the last 6 years there have been more reports of grey coloured foxes.
If you see a cross or black fox or even white or anything other than usual fox colouration please get in touch!
