2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Red Fox, New Jersey, United States of America
Red Fox Infected with Mange

Species: Red Fox | Location: New Jersey, United States of America

Mange is a disease that infects many wild animals; if mange is not treated the animal will eventually die. After tracking the Red Fox I got into position where it would walk. The Red Fox was shivering, losing fur, and spitting out grass. The photo looks like the Fox is showing aggression, however it was just spitting out grass previously chewed on.
