This young female fox has been quite the internet sensation over the past couple of weeks, since this video of her jumping on her human's bed went viral:[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lFZLoCswH8[/embed]
Her human spoke to the site Bored Panda about her behaviour:
Juniper and all foxes pounce in this way when they hear a scratching noise, which to them resembles the sound of a mouse under the snow or ground.
But Juniper's human was careful to warn others about the difficulties of trying to domesticate a fox on her Instagram:
Foxes smell. Bad. Their urine and feces smell like skunk mixed with ammonia. There is no way to ‘de-scent’ a fox. You cannot keep a fox indoors 24/7… Foxes are destructive, they will destroy things in your house.
Whilst it isn't illegal to have a fox as a pet in the UK, there are many things to think about like the fact they won't be seen to by a vet and that they have to be taken outside on a lead at all times. In the US, keeping a fox as a "domesticated animal" depends on the state and their municipal laws.Even though you might not be getting your own pet fox, you can enjoy these adorable photos ofJuniper instead:
