While hiking in the mountains in Switzerland near the Matterhorn i came across this fox. Normally they don't come so close as this one since they're are very shy creatures. 'He' or 'she' was looking very healthy. A friend who lives in Switzerland told me that this is very rare. He had never seen a fox coming this close. The fox was only 5 - 8 feet away from. Awesome expierence. Such beautiful creatures. - Picture was made with a iPhone 4.
Welcome to the Community! How lovely to see a red fox in such a beautiful setting.
Lovely spotting, and welcome to Project Noah! Switzerland must be a very beautiful place to visit. I have suggested an ID for your red fox, along with a reference link if you'd like to read more about the organism. Any time you get a chance, it is also nice to read the About, FAQ, and Terms for Project Noah. http://www.projectnoah.org/about

Thank you, and I hope to see many more spottings from you!
