Mystery Fox!



Cryptobiology!! Via National Geographic News, Carolina Mystery Beast Is a Rare Abnormal Fox, Experts Say
mystery animal is foraging in the grassy fields around a North Carolina company.

"I've never seen anything like this," said Jerri Durazo, a Tyco Electronics employee who photographed the animal.

The slender creature has a kangaroo-shaped head, big upright ears, and a long ratlike tail. From a distance the animal looks hairless, but closer inspection reveals that its coat is a sleek grayish brown.

For two months the animal has roamed the high-tech company's woodsy campus in Fuquay-Varina near Raleigh.

Biologists speculate that it's a fox with a rare genetic disorder that effects the outer layer of its coat.

It looks a little like NTodd's former Cairo. Those tall ears sticking straight up and the sleep body.

foxes are famous for mange. Altho' I figure mange would leave patchy appearance.
Congrats on 10k
