That fox sure is unique and beautiful!❤️

I don't know enough about foxes to know whether or not they tweaked his coloring for the picture, but it sure is STRIKING!

Thanks for sharing these great photos .❤️🌺

It's not a FireFox but the name of the animal is a Cross Fox, a variant of a red fox.

@On It,

I read a firefox is a mythical creature in the folklore of Finland that has a tail that twinkles fire.

 

There is a red fox that looks very similar. We used to have one roaming around our neighborhood-a beautiful small one.

I am embarrassed that I fell for the photo I saw posted. I did check and the animal known as a Firefox is the Red Panda. The photo below is from the National Wildlife Federation. Zoo sources acknowledge the red panda has been labeled the Firefox.IMG_1169.jpeg

I am well acquainted with the Firefox browser. I ran across this photo of a Firefox in the wild.

Edited to add: This photo is not a Firefox. A Firefox is actually a Red Panda. They are an intriguing animal. Why someone would need to fake the above photo escapes me. Red Pandas are beautiful. I will try to find a photo posted by @ChiliPepper from the Syracuse Zoo when they had a baby.  Found it!
