I saw a fox in the woods behind my house at dusk yesterday. I was surprised by the color which was almost an exact match to the leaves and whatnot on the forest floor, and not at all like the red that I've see before. It was pretty small and short-legged so not a coyote.
It could have been 1) a red fox but I was fooled by the low light, or 2) red foxes aren't so red in winter or if sick, or 3) a fox but not a red fox, or 4) not a fox. What's likely?
