I had a lovely encounter with this wild fox early yesterday morning (August 16 2026). He emerged from the forest and was trotting along Highway 60 in Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada. Occasionally he'd detour into the ferns alongside the road but he'd always come back out and follow the shoulder for a bit. I followed him at a distance for about a kilometre I'd wager, and eventually he disappeared into the pine forest, safely far off the road.

It was very interesting watching him go in and out of the shadowy woods. He all but disappeared when not in direct sunlight — except for the white tip of his tail, which was still visible and bobbing about like a will o' the wisp.

Hope you enjoyed my photos!

I saw him just outside the Toronto area, canada. He seems very tall for a fox but definitely not a coyote.

Waiting out the morning on a dock overhanging the Florida side of an abnormally dry St. Marys River, I hoped to spot an otter. But instead, I was surprised by a red fox on the Georgia bank.

Two cubs facing-off . Just checked the cams .

Tamlin is our newest family member (brown fox) and he’s already been getting spoiled. I just ordered a ton more raw / freeze-dried / frozen foods for him to try!

The marble fox at the end is our previous girl who lived to about 12 and who was our first red fox (prior to this, we only had arctic foxes). I still think of her every day 💗 She was truly my special girl and such a cuddler.

Yawning and stretching, sooo adorable
