Thanks for the very informative and easy to watch video. I've only encountered two coyotes (my son sees many more as he lives in the country).... but, I did become friends with a large group of foxes, trapped in a cemetery, in our city; I've counted 20 of them, at one time. Originally, I was walking my grand-puppy in the cemetery, one late afternoon; we had stopped for my grand-puppy to smell the ground... just then I got a feeling that someone was watching me (not a good feeling to get in a cemetery) and I turned around, and there, sitting right behind us, was a little fox. I said, "Well, hello there, little buddy... how are you?" ...and he jumped up and ran off into the woods. My grand puppy and I bumped into foxes about 3 more times; a couple of them looked very sickly... skinny. Since then, and I know people say you shouldn't but, I have been occasionally feeding them... not too much, as I don't want them to become dependent on humans. Now five years later, a couple of them come right up to me and walk around my legs... but most of them stay back about 20 feet or so, when I am there. There are some security guards there, who patrol at night, and they all comment on how much the foxes seem to like me... they chase my truck when I come into the lot and come running up to me, when I get out -- sure, they are excited about their food, but still nice to have them come running up to me, like that. It has been the most magical experience.... thanks again for the video...

Sweet story, I hope you keep tending to them and enjoying them. They are not only beautiful but seem to want to connect with humans that show interest.

One night I came face to face with a fox ! He was playing on the mall parking lot at night an suddenly bounced in front of me as I went to approach my car ! He started at me an I started at him! Then as he looked at me he sighed, aarroo, then I told him your Beautiful an he jumped in the air spun around an took off like lightening towards the near by fields! I feel so blessed to have met him!!! ❤️❤️❤️

When you say took off like lighting, how fast about do you think it was going?

1:05 i have yet to see a 30 pound fox. Of the five fox species in the US, Red and Gray fox are what most people see and they very rarely ever get over 20 pounds. Gigantism can happen with almost any mammel due to the likely effect of acromegaly which is an abnormality of the pituitary gland which produces an abundance of growth hormone, but it is not the norm.

The song what does the fox say, says the end of this video is inaccurate

Soooo... I'm gonna say it. The coyote made his vocal call. What does the fox say? Lol

Ha! Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

I wish I could post a photo of the creature living behind my bushes the last few days. It has features of both a coyote and a red fox. The tail is very long but not bushy, has hair only at the tip of the tail. Face is orange/red like a fox and the ears are huge. I don't see any black tips on the ears though. Legs aren't short and it does not look tubular. My family and I are split on its identification. Help!

Sounds really interesting! Unfortunately, without a picture to confirm it would be hard for us to identify.

I saw three Coyotes in the wild life park in nova Scotia this summer and as some other people looked at them i told them that i want to get one of my very own as a pet now i know their wild but as long as i feed him everyday and everynight he will love me and ill make sure he is very happy with me

I was wondering the same.

Coyote found in India as well...

You should have shown us a Wolfe

Thank you for the suggestion Jean. We feature wolves in other videos on our channel if you'd like to take a look. Have a nice day.

Too much lettering all over this video makes this video useless

Thank you for the feedback. We'll work to adjust our video creation going forward.

The coyote is definitely an American Jakel

That depends on the challenge! Foxes excel at many things. Some foxes, like the arctic fox, can survive extremely cold conditions due to their special adaptations.
