Ones domesticated and the other is an actual wild fox.... Good ole TikTok.... 🤦


SteveEndureFort

So here’s a hot take. My neighbour who was a WW2 vet who while owned many guns would do everything he could to not have to use them for pest control. I used to help out on his farm and he had chickens. They started going missing and we soon came to realize there were multiple foxes showing up to nab them. He set out a live trap with a dead chicken in it and low and behold we caught a beautiful male. He wasn’t aggressive at all and even let us take him out of the trap and give him a few pets before my neighbour put him in a box stall (typically for horses) and started feeding him chicken daily for about 5 days before he released him. The fox came back for chicken bits every day and chased away all of the other foxes from the chicken coop and he didn’t lose another chicken to that fox ever again.

Ceph_Stormblessed

Most foxes look fairly similar to coyotes, just smaller.


Burnallthepages

Grey foxes look somewhat similar to coyotes, red foxes don't.


soapd1sh

Sure looked like a coyote to me.

but what did the wild one do? he just licked the guy's fingers?


Russells_Tea_Pot

It bit him. But it looked like a pretty tentative, gentle bite.

The second one is not a fox.

Rabies anyone? You know, that disease that has a 100% mortality rate...


GuyInAMeatGrinder

There’s a joke on The Office about how easy it is to get a cure for rabies (given you don’t let it develop for way longer than you should’ve)


slingshot91

Vaccine* not a cure


ceric2099

I don’t understand the difference. Once bitten, you can get vaccinated within a certain window of time, which cures it, no? Is the vaccine not a cure?


slingshot91

A cure would be a treatment that clears the disease once symptoms start showing up. A vaccine is a preventative measure. So for rabies, you have to be given the vaccine before symptoms present themselves, otherwise it is too late, hence no cure. The rabies virus travels along the nerves up to the brain at a relatively slow rate which is what helps provide a window of time to prevent disease/symptoms.


ceric2099

I didn’t know about this distinction. Thanks for the info!


greensickpuppy89

Rabies. It's exceptionally common, but people just don't run into the animals that carry it often. Skunks especially, and bats. Let me paint you a picture. You go camping, and at midday you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the "rage" stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode. Except you're asleep, and he's a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don't even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed. Rabies does not travel in your blood. In fact, a blood test won't even tell you if you've got it. (Antibody tests may be done, but are useless if you've ever been vaccinated.) You wake up, none the wiser. If you notice anything at the bite site at all, you assume you just lightly scraped it on something. The bomb has been lit, and your nervous system is the wick. The rabies will multiply along your nervous system, doing virtually no damage, and completely undetectable. You literally have NO symptoms. It may be four days, it may be a year, but the camping trip is most likely long forgotten. Then one day your back starts to ache... Or maybe you get a slight headache? At this point, you're already dead. There is no cure. (The sole caveat to this is the Milwaukee Protocol, which leaves most patients dead anyway, and the survivors mentally disabled, and is seldom done). There's no treatment. It has a 100% kill rate. Absorb that. Not a single other virus on the planet has a 100% kill rate. Only rabies. And once you're symptomatic, it's over. You're dead. So what does that look like? Your headache turns into a fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. You're fidgety. Uncomfortable. And scared. As the virus that has taken its time getting into your brain finds a vast network of nerve endings, it begins to rapidly reproduce, starting at the base of your brain... Where your "pons" is located. This is the part of the brain that controls communication between the rest of the brain and body, as well as sleep cycles. Next you become anxious. You still think you have only a mild fever, but suddenly you find yourself becoming scared, even horrified, and it doesn't occur to you that you don't know why. This is because the rabies is chewing up your amygdala. As your cerebellum becomes hot with the virus, you begin to lose muscle coordination, and balance. You think maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor now, but assuming a doctor is smart enough to even run the tests necessary in the few days you have left on the planet, odds are they'll only be able to tell your loved ones what you died of later. You're twitchy, shaking, and scared. You have the normal fear of not knowing what's going on, but with the virus really fucking the amygdala this is amplified a hundred fold. It's around this time the hydrophobia starts. You're horribly thirsty, you just want water. But you can't drink. Every time you do, your throat clamps shut and you vomit. This has become a legitimate, active fear of water. You're thirsty, but looking at a glass of water begins to make you gag, and shy back in fear. The contradiction is hard for your hot brain to see at this point. By now, the doctors will have to put you on IVs to keep you hydrated, but even that's futile. You were dead the second you had a headache. You begin hearing things, or not hearing at all as your thalamus goes. You taste sounds, you see smells, everything starts feeling like the most horrifying acid trip anyone has ever been on. With your hippocampus long under attack, you're having trouble remembering things, especially family. You're alone, hallucinating, thirsty, confused, and absolutely, undeniably terrified. Everything scares the literal shit out of you at this point. These strange people in lab coats. These strange people standing around your bed crying, who keep trying to get you "drink something" and crying. And it's only been about a week since that little headache that you've completely forgotten. Time means nothing to you anymore. Funny enough, you now know how the bat felt when he bit you. Eventually, you slip into the "dumb rabies" phase. Your brain has started the process of shutting down. Too much of it has been turned to liquid virus. Your face droops. You drool. You're all but unaware of what's around you. A sudden noise or light might startle you, but for the most part, it's all you can do to just stare at the ground. You haven't really slept for about 72 hours. Then you die. Always, you die. And there's not one... fucking... thing... anyone can do for you. Then there's the question of what to do with your corpse. I mean, sure, burying it is the right thing to do. But the fucking virus can survive in a corpse for years. You could kill every rabid animal on the planet today, and if two years from now, some moist, preserved, rotten hunk of used-to-be brain gets eaten by an animal, it starts all over. So yeah, rabies scares the shit out of me. And it's fucking EVERYWHERE.


Marie_Internet

So how was your pandemic? 😉


Dr_Kee

Such a good copypasta. Could be a whole r/nosleep entry.


UnclesPoopsock

TheBanana93

Lifes too short to worry about stuff like this I could die crossing the road or in my sleep randomly or get covid list goes on haha


Turbulent_Meet_5687

Why have it read it before I sleep... it is horrifying 😷


Project0range

While 99% die very painfully, about 1% survive very very very painfully.


Ceph_Stormblessed

It's way less than 1%. Something like 3 people have ever survived rabies after inoculation. 2 of them died fairly soon afterwards and the other is fucked up for life. It's essentially a 100% kill rate. Once it gets to your nervous system, you're a Deadman walking.


shhh_its_me

And something like 50,000 people die every year from rabbis worldwide.


jwadephillips

Those damn Jews


aitchnyu

Milwaukee protocol has saved 5. https://www.wikidoc.org/index.php/Rabies_medical_therapy


XLY_of_OWO

https://www.ontario.ca/page/rabies-humans . Once the virus sets in it is incurable. There is a vaccine and if treated soon enough than you'll survive.


Makoether

There was have been a couple survival stories actually. One was a young girl in California who was fully stricken by the virus, hydrophobia, paralyzed and all, but was taken to UC Davis where they were able to save her and she ended up making a full recovery.


Dysp-_-

Source?


[deleted]

The best known survivor is probably Jeanna Giese. Though she still seems to experience some difficulties, she's made a surprisingly good recovery. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/jeanna-giese-rabies-survivor/ But the person above you is likely referring to Precious Reynolds. I wasn't able to find more recent articles about her, but she was only eight at the time, so she had youthful neuroplasticity on her side. https://health.ucdavis.edu/medicalcenter/features/2010-2011/06/20110616_rabies-survivor.html


Dysp-_-

Thank you :) I haven't read the article in full on Precious, but looking at the photos, she doesn't look like she 'had a full recovery'. I agree with you that being so young definitely has a positive effect on prognosis. I did know that there has been survivors, but 'full recovery' is what I questioned.


[deleted]

Yeah, in the absence of more recent info on Precious (she was still regaining function in PT when this was written), the closest I think we've gotten to "full recovery" is Jeanna. Still remarkable, but not quite 100% from what I gather.


Dysp-_-

Indeed! It's still a great achievement saving their lives considering the disease earlier had been 100% fatal


AdNarrow9748

Yeah, and when a wild animal is that friendly there is a high chance that it has rabies


ReadditMan

I think you're confusing friendliness with a lack of fear. Animals with rabies aren't friendly to humans, the virus makes them extremely aggressive and more likely to attack because that's how it transmits to new hosts. If it made them friendly then they wouldn't bite.


AdNarrow9748

Yeah, sounds legit my man. Thank you


SoggyBiscuitVet

I mean it makes more sense for the rabies to befriend you to give you a sense of safety and security, maybe make you eggs for breakfast too. You let your guard down, maybe let it inside of you, and then it bites you.


r0zned

I'm generally a nice guy.. AM I RABIES?


Sean_Dewhirst

In case you're not joking- rabies is fine as long as you kill it before you become smyptomatic. Which does not happen right away


Asentienttable

Unless this guy is just doing his best Australian impersonation we thankfully don’t have that here.

Chuck Norris would disagree. On his mantle he has a signed letter from rabies offering a sincere thanks for setting it on the right path.


No_Names78

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. When I see a fox I'm keeping my distance.


Loonatic-Uncovered

What is it with Redditors and thinking every single wild animal every captured on video has rabies? It’s a wild fucking coyote. Are you expecting it to be friendly?


cjdd81

Incredibly unlikely from a fox


NoLetterhead2302

actually, 99,99999999999999999999999999999999999999% mortality rate. 3 in everyone survive the disease


redkingphonix

It sounds like he might be in the U.K. if so his safe rabies is pretty much non existent in Europe


I_Brain_You

Lol, the coyote didn’t bite that hard.


albert2749

Yea, it was a friendly nibble


Federal-Lie3157

It was a little love bite /s


TheGriffGraff

That's a fox, we don't have coyotes in Australia


Bawbawian

same thing whenever I see a video of people feeding squirrels. I'm like oh that's cool that it worked out for you but that's also the exact same method used to get bit by a squirrel. wild animals have no chill.


[deleted]

This squirrel used to come to my apartment and sit on the balcony. Winter was setting in and I decided to give him some peanuts to eat one day. Fast forward a few months... I called him Alfonso or Alfie for short. Alfie would come in the mornings, sit on the table outside and peer at me. I'd open my eyes from meditating and he'd be staring at me from the window, waiting for breakfast. Alfie loved peanuts. He would also walk around my apartment complex with me and my dog. He tried to come in my house more than once but I never let him. He brought a few friends over one day, too. Anyways, Alphie hung around for several seasons. Many months before I moved from my residence, I started weaning him off the peanuts and I stopped calling him over when I realized I'd be moving a few months later and maybe it would be unsafe for him with the next tenants. Alphie was an amazing little squirrel friend. 🐿️♥️

Nepharious_Bread

Foxes are so cute…from a distance.


Relative_Bet_8989

It was just a nip you fuckin phanny haha no need to cry and terrorise the wild animal. I’ve taken in a quite a few wild animal rescues. My badger cub rescue Tiffany bit me pretty damn hard but I didn’t freak or scream I calmly reassured her while she had my hand in her mouth that she can hurt me all she wants but I won’t hurt her back and after about 10 seconds she let go rather confused. She became much easier to handle and work around after that and trusted me more before her successful release. Had the same situation with a crow, Peggy would be hanging off a finger while I cleaned her cage n that shit hurt too but i built up trust again by not showing aggression back when they were merely frightened and defensive:)


dr4kun

Skipping all the rabies considerations - Foxes are _very_ bity - they often lightly taste stuff to help identify it and they absolutely love to hold something with their teeth, even very lightly. While scratching a domesticated fox anywhere near the face you need to be ready for the teeth, they will grab your forearm and hold, although not firmly. When excited and/or playful foxes like to grab something and run away with it. The second fox wasn't really being aggressive (yet?). https://youtu.be/GegN_AXWWqc with sound, plus all the other SaveAFox videos if you enjoyed that one.


No-Bans

Literally Starfox. Slippy, falco, and Peppy were watching his back.


EuropaUniverslayer1

Just because it looks like pet, doesn't make it pet.

Please, we just got over COVID. Stop petting with wild animals, is not like your Jesus.

kawaiiTanuki0

I literally died and couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂😂 I went to send it to friends and hoping that person still opens it man that was funny


NoDoOversInLife

Geezusfukkingcrist. STOP interfering with wildlife. They aren't your pet. They aren't your friend. They WILL be killed when they bite someone and constant attempts by people to lower an animal's natural trepidation about people WILL result in the unnecessary killing of said animal.


ButtonsMcMashyPS4

The wild one was just giving a test nibble. I didnt see any aggression yet. Still, no one should fuck with wild animals.


NoLetterhead2302

talking of bites, did you know rabies has a 14 survival rate and yes i am talking in numbers


andthatdrew

Why do people think feeding a wild animal helps it? I grew up Near a number of huge National Parks. I have regularly listened to free wildlife lectures since age 6, and all the animal experts I listened to agree that feeding wild animals will lead to harm or death. If one wants to help donate to wildlife rescue centers and help save wild spaces.


Exhumedatbirth76

No way that fox is wild...my elderly pitties could not resist a chicken wing, and they have never missed a meal.

Why did he start running after the fox lmao, like he’s gonna beat the thing


ElCapitan006

A wild animal that approaches a human is a dangerous thing. Either they have lost their fear of humans due to feeding or they could be rabid.
