This handsome critter is a partially melanistic variant of a red fox, sometimes called a cross fox. Melanism describes a heavily black pigmentation of the fur, and fully melanistic red foxes are known as silver foxes. Cross foxes are one result of a red/silver fox cross. Though they were once thought to be a separate species, cross foxes now carry the same classification (Vulpes vulpes) as the red fox. They're not terribly rare in the northern U.S. and Canada, but still merit a second (or third!

Rare black fox with white tip tail. A black fox with a white-tipped tail is the melanistic form of a red fox and is quite rare, as it results from a recessive genetic trait. The black coloration is caused by melanism, which is an overabundance of the pigment melanin. This trait is recessive, which is why black foxes are uncommon in the wild and make up only about 0.1% of the North American fox population. #LifeAt7500Feet | Jim Russell

Meet female silver fox, Stevie. A silver fox is the melanistic form of a red fox (Vulpes vulpes), displaying fur in various shades of gray and black in comparison to the red fox's reddish-brown coat. Silver foxes can be found right here in Ohio and throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere across the globe, and has been introduced in Australia.

R. Eugene on Instagram: "The Melanistic fox (Black Fox) carries recessive traits, which makes its appearance in nature a rare occurrence. They are so rare that experts believe that they only make up about 0.1% of the entire U.S. fox population. I was lucky to encounter this one (Melanistic fox) while exploring Dakotas and Wyoming and he decided to tag along for a few short minutes 😊. Always remember to never approach or feed animals in nature. Let's keep the "wild" in wildlife! Hope you enjoy!

Silver foxes (a.k.a. the melanistic form of the red fox) are described as an intelligent, cunning and solitary species. As such, silver fox, Stevie, knows how to keep herself busy during winters at the Columbus Zoo. If you haven't met Stevie yet, she lives in Jack Hanna's Animal Encounters Village, and may be seen playing in the outside yard during the day. https://bit.ly/3qkxL0g | Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Turns out the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) isn’t always red. There are a handful of color mutations that occur naturally in the wild -- white, black, silver -- and a seemingly endless variety of mutations created at the hand of human breeders for the fur industry. These two beauties were filmed playing on San Juan Island, Washington. | Center for Biological Diversity
