Do fire foxes exist? Yes, a Fire fox is a species of Cross Fox. Fire fox (also known as “Crusader”) can be seen in some boreal regions of North America, where they are more abundant.
These are 10% to 30% of Canada’s red fox population, and their beauty is a special gift for the eyes. It can reach up to 72 km while running.
Who took the photo of the “Fire Fox”?
Photographer Sam Gabby gained the trust of a strange-‐lookin’ fox in Newfoundland, Canada, over the course of two months. Over time, they developed a relationship that allowed them to take some beautiful pictures of this animal in its natural habitat.
Thanks to their collaboration, the photographer captured magnificent photographs of this wild creature in its natural habitat.
“Our first meeting was calculated, I focused on not disturbing this wild animal, but at the same time, I tried to reassure it was not a threat,” Gabby explains.
The cross fox is common in northern North America, where they are more plentiful.
The exquisite animals have orange coats with dark stripes that descend their backs and shoulders.
They account for roughly 30% of Canada’s red fox population, and they’re still a magnificent sight to see.
“Our first meeting was calculated, I focused on not disturbing this wild animal, but at the same time, I tried to reassure it was not a threat,” Gabby explains.
“He didn’t feel safe from my presence, every cautious step forward was two steps back, and our first meeting didn’t last long; I moved slowly, but when I set up my camera and made eye contact with him, he ran away.”
Luckily, Gabby didn’t stop trying after repeatedly meeting at sunset. The fox became less aggressive towards the photographers and his cameras.
After this initial two-month break, Gabby returned several times during the summer and winter to see her new friend again. “At every meeting, I learned a little bit more about this friend named and his brother,” who sometimes appears in Gabby’s pictures.
