A black fox?

I was walking my dog in the cemetary one day and at the end of the road, i saw something sitting down licking itself. I thought it was a fox. I walked on abit more and i saw it was black. Now i have never seen a Black fox before. Of course, i didnt get close enough because it ran away when it say my dog.

It's a silver fox. They are mostly black with "silver" tips.

Cool animal !!

I'd run too if I was caught licking myself...

lol, thanks guys. This is in England...

hmm black fox never seen one must be rare, wonder if they differ from other foxes.

More info for ya Monk....

Habitat: Extremely varied in habitat requirements, from arctic tundra to city centres (including sightings in London, Paris, Stockholm etc.). Natural habitat is dry, mixed landscape, with abundant 'edge' of scrub and woodland. Also found in uplands, mountains (crosses alpine passes), deserts, sand dunes, and farmland. Flourishes especially in affluent suburbs and, in many habitats, appears to be closely associated with humans.

I wouldn't want to run into that...

Thanks guys, ill tell u if i see it again.

I hate the way people hunt foxes....sorry abit random

Nice sighting. I also have seen a black fox, but it was in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

You can lick yourself? Post some pics please

~Cool. That's awsome I didn't think such a breed of fox actually existed. Interesting.

I've never seen a black fox but it doesn't supprise me that they exist. After all they come on red and white. Why not black?

we had a nest of those living under our house once. The mother died and we had to take care of the cubs. It was soooo sad
