The BBC has uploaded a video to his Facebook channel where you can see a two-legged fox that at times walk like a dinosaurwhile in others literally does the handstand to advance. It is surprising that it has survived in the wild.
The video has been recorded in his garden by Phil Carter, a citizen of Ilkeston, in the United Kingdom. He assures that it is usual for the foxes come snooping in his garden, but it is the first time in his life that he sees a two legged fox who walks with apparent normality.
The fox remained in the garden for about 45 minutes, although the video barely lasts a minute. In it you can see a fox with two legsapparently healthy, that sniffs the grass while walking balancing on its long tail.
experts from Derbyshire Wildlife Trust consulted by BBC Radio Derby they assure that they have never seen anything like itsince technically a fox with two legs it cannot survive in freedom. Here is the video:
As we see, the fox he manages to walk normally, keeping his trunk parallel to the ground, freehand. At times it looks like a dinosaur. When unbalanced, it uses its long tail as a tightrope walker, so as not to fall.
At times you can see fox literally doing Pine, with the trunk completely vertical. But the animal does not seem to care, and continues to sniff the grass in search of food.
The zoologists It is not very clear what has happened to him. In the video, no end of the hind legs can be seen, and the two legged fox he moves naturally, as if he has done so all his life. So it could be a congenital deformityby birth.
Others believe that as a child could have fallen into a trap of hunters or rancherswhich severed his hind legs.
In both cases, that it has survived in the wild, It’s a miracle. Although she seems to walk reasonably well, I can not run. So it can’t chase or stalk prey.
Fortunately foxes are omnivorousso it probably survived by feeding on insects, dropped eggs or birds that nest on the ground, baby rabbits and mice that can’t run away, etc.
As it is easy to imagine, the video of two legged fox It has gone viral on social media. It’s something you don’t see every day.
