Incredible Sierra Nevada Red Fox sighting near Hosmer Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon! This rare black-coated fox with white-tipped tail is one of the most endangered mammals in North America.

The Sierra Nevada Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes necator) is a subspecies found only in the Oregon Cascades and Sierra Nevada mountains. These remarkable foxes live at high elevations between 4,900-6,500 feet in subalpine meadows and forests.

What makes this sighting special:

• This black/silver color phase shows distinctive white-tipped tail
• The fox showed little fear of humans, which is unusual behavior

These foxes are smaller than lowland red foxes with special adaptations for snow travel, including fur-covered foot pads. They're part of Oregon's Conservation Strategy Species and are found from Mount Hood to Crater Lake.
