Thanks to Reana for sending Sunday:

“Whiskey, tango, fox trot. We caught him mid rodent snack!”

Awesome shots. But why does that poor fox look so scruffy? Do they shed hard in spring? Or is she sick?

  Looks like mange – a very uncomfortable, and sad fate for these foxes :-(

    Was thinking the same thing. :(

      I have a neighbor who gets free medicine from animal control in Northern VA and doses the foxes who frequent her backyard. She has healed many a mangy fox. Maybe this is an option in DC too? If not it’s maybe only because nobody’s brought it up yet.

This looks like the fox that hangs out around State Department (which makes sense, given the location of these photos). He definitely looks like he’s had mange for a month or so…

That may be a Coyote!

Looks like “the strange tale of the crack fox” from Dalston!
