The Muppet Show Animal Playing Drum Sabian Shirt
The legend claims it’s still counter-shaded, but more aggressively so. It still has the pearl white belly, but instead of steel grey on top, it’s jet black. Also said to be 40-45 feet long with a tail monstrous even for its size. If I had to warrant a The Muppet Show Animal Playing Drum Sabian Shirt guess, I would say that the foxes in the north have been breeding with other members of the same region. Since they aren’t introducing new genes to the pool, it has a limited range of phenotypes that it can produce. If a large number of melanistic foxes constituted the initial group that lived there, it would make sense that any of their offspring would have a higher chance to show the trait. Probably! Having darker pigmentation also means that you’re absorbing more sunlight and getting a bit more body heat during the few hours where it’s light.
As someone who lives up north there is something that might be naturally selecting it as a successful trait: Longer nights. The farther north you go, the longer The Muppet Show Animal Playing Drum Sabian Shirt nights get during winter (when hunting is usually the hardest). Having an advantage like blending into the shadows better probably helps more than we know. In Alaska that’s very common verbiage in the hunting / outdoor world. Red, cross, and silvertip fox are what we find on Kodiak island, as well as other remote islands as leftovers from the booming fur trade in the ’50s that crashed and left behind these populations of the fox without any wolf or coyotes present to competitively dominate these isolated ecosystems. All quite amazing really.
