Ok the quality is far from the typical photos in this section but i just wanted to share to color difference in this fox verse what i am used to seeing down in the states. From what I've read there are many different color phases of a red fox and even the silver fox is actually a red fox. Anyone from up north verify?

I have witnessed both silver phase and black phase in the company of red phase fox. I've see them all here in the north.

I should have mentioned that we also have Grey fox. They are smaller than the Red fox with a lot of different colors, grey, black, brown and white. I had a pair behind my old house living in an old wood pile. They would eat the bird seed underneath the bird feeder.

Nice pictures. We have both red and gray in my state. Maybe that is a hobo fox cause it's near the tracks, lol. Dan.
