January 30th, 2015: Look at the Red Hair, What a Fox.

NAG pointed out the National Park Service has some exiting news. They've had two, verifiable by trail cam, sightings in Yosemite Park, of a Sierra Nevada Red Fox.

Yosemite National Park is excited to report the first confirmed sighting in the park of a rare Sierra Nevada red fox (Vulpes vulpes necator) in nearly 100 years. Park wildlife biologists had gone on a five-day backcountry trip to the far northern part of the park to check on previously deployed motion-sensitive cameras. They documented a sighting of the fox on two separate instances (December 13, 2014 and January 4, 2015) within the park boundary. The Sierra Nevada red fox of California is one of the rarest mammals in North America, likely consisting of fewer than 50 individuals.
