Stunning Orange And Black Fox Strikes A Pose For Friendly Photographer

Sam Gaby is an economist and policy advisor but he’s been a wildlife photographer way longer. Sam has been holding a camera since he was 10 years old and even though he considers himself a hobbyist, he has captured some very fascinating shots. Like these.

"I am impressed with his beauty but also his level of intelligence," Gaby confesses. "I've witnessed him hunting, hiding and retrieving food stores, and interacting with other foxes. He was extremely playful, especially with his sibling, I gave them both names; Mat and Pat." While in Newfoundland, photographer Sam Gaby came across a cross fox. While technically the name "cross fox" is correct here, it's not because this is a cross of two species. This is actually the (confusing) name of this red fox color morph. It gets this name because the dark color forms a cross over the fox's shoulders. Cross foxes are slightly more common in the wild than the red fox's other color morph, the silver fox.
