This Domesticated Baby Red Fox Is The Sleepiest Pet Ever

173

ADVERTISEMENT

Meet Rylai, a domesticated red fox with her own Instagram who is quickly becoming a rising star on the internet. On her Instagram and Facebook, you can follow what Rylai eats, her success in obedience training, and her little everyday challenges. The name “Rylai” comes from the game DOTA2.

Rylai represents a welcome change in attitudes towards domesticated foxes, as many like her have been slaughtered for their fur. However, despite being domesticated, she is not a Siberian fox, which are bred in Russia to make them tamer and more dog-like. Rylai was raised by breeders seeking to domesticate foxes in the U.S., and is many generations removed from her wild cousins.

    There are so many unwanted dogs in shelters, is there really a need to breed domesticated foxes? SMH

    The relationship of people with different domesticated animals is different. Cats and dogs are different, so are foxes. Cat ppl ≠ dog ppl

    Most adorable baby ever! Are you sure it's a red fox? Looks more like a snow fox to me with the solid white coat.

    The reason she sleeps all the time is that wild mammals sleep when they are not feeding or in danger to make their calories last longer.

    I like how this is encouraging people to take animals from the wild and breed in unhealthy traits.
