Red Fox would have white tip on tail so points to Gray Fox. Red fox would have black socks and Gray would not.But the black extends well up the leg. Note black ears. Very small white spot on chest. Gray has stripe down the tail as does this one. Face more cat-like pointing toward Gray Fox. My vote is Gray. INat repeatedly suggested Arctic Fox - nope and Gray was way down the list. But I think this is a Gray Fox color phase with black points. Hope to see kits any day now.

I feel like I should post one of those warnings you see on some TV shows...."Viewer Discretion is Advised; some images may be disturbing to some viewers". After some of the road kill images that are posted on iNat perhaps this is not too bad. At least it was completely natural, unlike the slaughter caused by vehicles on our wildlife.

Between 1996-2005, I was a bird guide on 13 trips to Antarctica. During those trips I saw lots of Leopard Seal attacks on penguins, but none stands out in my mind more than this one. This adult Chinstrap Penguin had somehow escaped from the jaws of a Leopard Seal, but was mortally injured. The penguin was virtually "de-gloved" whereby its skin was almost removed from its body. The penguin struggled ashore where it stood still for 10 or 15 minutes, much to the distress of several tour participants I had with me. As the penguin stood there, several Brown Skuas began to gather about, waiting for the inevitable to happen. Slowly the penguin walked farther away and out of immediate view, with 4 or 5 skuas walking along behind it. I did not follow, but rather decided to allow the scene to unfold without my observation and intrusion. It was a reminder that nature can be tough and brutal.

Trapped calico American lobster donated by a lobsterman to a restaurant for live display. Digital photographed by me as a record. The calico trait is based on post embryonic crossing over of a recessive trait in epidermal tissue.

Arthropodo encontrado en el intermarial superior. Estos organismos ocupan los caparazones de otras especies como refugio y protección hacia los depredadores.
Presenta una simetría bilateral con un caparazón en tonalidades rojizas y lunares de un color azul muy intenso.
La pinza derecha a diferencia de la izquierda presenta un mayor tamaño, siendo mas notorio en el propodio y dactilo.
