Wow 🦊❤️

😍

Gorgeous!

It might be pretty, but it certainly isn’t rare. 30% of Canada’s red fox population is melanistic, and it’s a common form all over North America.

Oh he's beautiful!

Stunning in those colurs

The Firefox .. absolutely beautiful 😍

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social fox of the day?

I’ve never even seen a picture of this fox before and believe me, I zoom in on every creature I see. Thanks for showing me a true wonder!

Most rare, not most rarest. Just a quick grammar correction...

Amazing….

Beautiful.

So beautiful, love being able to look at animals I never would have been able to view as a kid (I’m 83)

Gorgeous!

Just stunning💙

Such a beautiful fox. We just have the red ones show up at night.

I WANT!

Certainly is a beautiful coat

Wow, most beautiful animal period that I have ever seen.

So beautiful

I agrre

😍

ew, nice

The color is beautiful.

No way it is the most rarest.🧐

Gorgeous. I hope they don’t clone it - fur would come back into “style”!

Thank God we don't have those in our neck of the woods. They'd stick out like a sore thumb, and inevitably, some triggerhappyredneck would shoot him just to mount him on a wall.

Wow!

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous foxy fox!🦊 😂

Bullshit

images.app.goo.gl/kTzNUM5prkiH... The San Francisco garter snake. Ain't they beautiful, they're also an endangered species.

There is so much beauty in this world, and yet, in America, we have to look at the ugly choices made by 1/3 of the deranged population for years to come!

Not rare where I live and the colours have been enhanced way too much. The animal is beautiful, it doesn't need to be coloured like a cartoon

I hope they are a protected species! Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Stunning.

Is that real? Honestly, it looks like someone spray painted him with highway paint or that he rolled around in it. Either way, it's a stunning animal!

He is awesome!!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful animal 💕

OMG I will not be surprised when this becomes a trending hair and makeup tutorial based on this image. 🤯

Beautiful x

Sorry, grammar nazi here. It's either "rarest" or "most rare". Can't be "most rarest"

A word to the wiser. Language is so rich that there are lots of options, but given the legacy of those bastards, keeping their brand alive is not a good idea, specifically when this public conversation will be used for training Large Language Models with.

I think it’s important to remind ourselves of those times. Especially important now that that group is feeling more emboldened than ever. white nationalism is being embraced so ardently here in ‘Murica.

Well, look at it as if we were doing a Logic exercise (what a model training would do). You seem to be a well-educated person and a very gentle one who shares your knowledge generously. You are a zealot for the correct gramma. All good traits. You are labeling that goodness with the nazi evil word.

I’m semi-educated. Thanks for your kind words

More important than any point of grammar, even a whopper: don't be a Nazi. Don't be a Nazi of any kind. Ever.

It was in jest. (I really need to point that out?)

I thought you were very restrained tbh.

Thnx. I didn’t realize people were that sensitive to the word. Perhaps going forward I will say “grammar authoritarian” or “speech enforcer”

Stickler? Tyrant? Been looking for a replacement - haven't convinced myself of one yet.

Nah, I got it was in jest. But Nazi not funny. Probably came off harsher than intended, but I'm standing on no Nazis, even in grammar

Thanks for taking that one for the grammar team.

Gorgeous. 🧡🖤🧡🖤

Wow, serious understatement on the “most beautiful” stunning creature.

Omg. It’s beautiful

Stunning 😍

💙💙💙

The colors are doctored (oversaturated), and it's not rare at all en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_fox

Came to post this -So oversaturated the pebbles glow!

Normally I'd agree with you, but in this case I think it's the sunlight shining on the fox and pebbles. Someone posted another pic where you can see it's sunlight.

Another example of the use of greater-than-life color saturation (more subtle that the parent post) is the photography of Galen Rowell (who I had the good fortune to know). His fantastic 'Mountain Light' photography featured highly saturated film and heavy burning/dodging in (analog) print-making.

As a biologist involved in photography for many moons, this is obviously artificial coloration. Back in the film days, there was a debate over Kodachrome 64 vs. Velvia 50. Magazine publishers wanted the eye-popping color of Velvia, whereas my mentors stuck with Kodak for fidelity to actual colors.

Film photography is still around, btw, but the choice of emulsions is pretty different today. And they're expensive 😅

Anyone want to make an offer on an excellent condition Nikon F4S? I haven't used it in decades, but I'm glad some people are keeping the art of analog alive.

For reference: www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/f4.htm

Briefly top of the AF pile, before Cannon ate Nikon's lunch. I bought the F4S and a couple of prime lenses around 1990 from my aforementioned mentor, who switched a mortgage-level investment in Nikon gear for Cannon.

You can't trick me, that's a Pokémon.

wow

Breathtaking.

Where are they found?

North American boreal and northern forests for sure, that’s where I met one. This phenotype is also a bit larger than its more common red fox brothers and sisters so it’s quite a sight!

Wow! So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 🩷

That was the day Nature had an artistic flare up!😂

Absolutely stunning

It looks like he just stepped directly from the pages of a JRR Tolkien novel. Beautiful! 😍

Gorgeous 😍

😍😍he so pretty

Who, knows, from the body language, how stunning and beautiful s/he is.

Stunning 🤩

Stunning 😊

Foxy is sayin', "How You doin'?"

Beautiful ... and 'most rarest' is a tautology.

Beautiful

Could we please stop presenting augmented imagery as real...

mymodernmet.com/cross-fox-sa...

Your point?

You have to be right about everything. With your ego, you'll never admit when you're WRONG!

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

The fox is real but the high contrast edits aren’t. I hate this shit too. The cross fox is beautiful enough without the heavy handed edits.

Hey

???

How are you

???

I m New here

Good luck to you. I'm not interested in random chat with strangers today. Take care.

I m your friend

No. You are not. You are a stranger that followed and then texted me. Back off.

Gorgeous.

I’ve seen a couple, along with a golden coat, in a mixed liter of black foxes.

Wow!

look at this silver fox

A true silver fox! 🦊 beautiful!

One of my favourite animals is the fox. Owls are also my favourite, not necessarily in that order.

Thanks for sharing your favorite animals, Tom. Foxes and owls are indeed both fascinating animals.

Then here's me, resisting the urge to try and make it my best friend so we can walk around the forest together...

Most rarest?

😍 ❤️ Wow Majestic 😍

Beautiful

Whichever angel god asked to design this beauty needs a promotion

And he absolutely knows it too!

So Cool!

Very nice looking animal.

Wow😮! Thanks for the share!

Is this real or fake?

Wow!!!

Must pet now

Beautiful where is it’s natural habitat

Photoshop?

What a gorgeous animal!

Grammar foul. Not grammar fowl.

What a sweet thing!

🤩

Gorgeous

Omg it’s is stunning

Absolutely beautiful.

Oh Wow 🤩🤩🤩

soirmag.lesoir.be/301720/artic...

That is very beautiful fox.

So happy to see you here!

It’s either most rare or rarest. You can’t have both! Still cute af though. 🦊

Stunning! So much beauty in the world 🥹

Active lava fields are its natural habitat.

Amazing 😲. I'm following you now !

amazing :D

Just a beautiful picture 📸 thanks for sharing.

What does the fox say.

Good grief those colors are astounding.

it is fake.

Still astounding. Just not real.

Lmao it's not fake do some research

Wow! Thanks for sharing this

thank you

It only wears that color during hunting season 🤓

Gorgeous

He/she can come live with me.

That's a cool looking fox 😎

Oh is it the most rarest the most, is it?

Looks quite smug

Unless it’s fur is camouflage for lava I doubt that thing is real.

Without the filters

They can be pretty colorful, although that photo was enhanced a bit

The funny thing about them is, I went to read up a bit, it isn’t the red that makes them so dramatic. It’s actually the black.

They are real, however this photo has high contrast added to it. They aren't that vibrant.

Doesn’t need the high contrast filter. We can let beauty just be. These foxes are ethereal and beautiful without your heavy handed edits.

It's not even a filter, it's AI slop

Beautiful!

Oh my. Stunning. I didn't even know they existed. Thank you.

Oh my just gorgeous! Have not seen one before. thx

Stunning!!!

Where are they located?

"most rare"

Reminds me of burning coals. :]

Wow. What an elegant and gorgeous animal.

“This fox is the most beautifullest and most rarest of them all!”

I thought this was a fake, but he’s real he’s stunning.

They are real but the original photo is doctored pretty heavily to enhance contrast. They’re very, very beautiful in person. I’ve been lucky enough to meet one in the wild!

He is

The Eft newt of foxes.

Just gorgeous.

Wow

That is a beautiful animal.

Is that not a cross fox??

It is just the word they used is a name for a color variation of red fox. So it's not its own "breed/species" of fox just a coloration but it's still pretty cool

Pokemon

Im’ma pet dat dawg!

When I grow up, I want to be as beautiful as this fox.

rarest is enough. Most rarest makes little sense.

It's a beautiful animal

WOW!!! 😍

Gorgeous 😍

Striking!

😮‍😮‍😮‍

This looks more like a pokémon!

Amazing! Does its environment/surroundings dictate the unique and vibrant colors to help camouflage the animal?

Wow - what a beautiful creature

youtu.be/2IBHaAf4uSg?...

Stunning coloring

Magnificent

Where is it pls? No context

Precioso 😍

He can speak French, and can light a fire by doing a little dance. He lives with a witch who makes fireworks and mushroom teas, and his coloration is partly due to one of her experiments

Wow beautiful. Have not seen that" before. Thank you.......just saying 😁 💙💙💙🌈🌈🌈💙💙💙

You’d think AI, almost too beautiful!

Oh my.

Beautiful❤️

Most rarest. Rarest says it all.

Or most rare

Sometimes you just have to look at them in black and white… 🤣

Fire!

Awe awe, Melany or Melanos ^^

Gorgeous!!

Beautiful
