Please spay and neuter your animals! While your newborn animals are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless pets. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

[–]dbrannan 39 points40 points ago

I lived in Barrow, Alaska for 7 years and can tell you a little about these fellows. Most likely the arctic fox that is following you around has rabies (most arctic fox do). Arctic fox are able to live fine with the disease unless they get older or get physically stressed, and then they will come into town, sit at your door, or try to run in your house. They will start acting odd like following people, biting your pets, laying down in the road, running in circles, try to run through windows, etc.

Word of caution - visit your local vet and report the animal.

Word of caution - OP is a liar.

[–]clintonius 4 points5 points ago

Most arctic fox have rabies? Do you have a citation for that? It sounds unusual.

[–]sean_g 6 points7 points ago

wow, this looks to be true...

The clinical course is usually short and foxes may die within a day or 2 after the onset of symptoms. Initially, the arctic fox looses its natural timidity. It may enter villages or human settlements and there are examples of foxes having followed dog teams. In the exitative phase, the fox becomes aggressive and may snap and bite, and sometimes runs in circles. "

I'm so sick of novelty accounts that add no original or interesting content.

[–]shark_vagina -1 points0 points ago

But the point of this novelty account is to not add anything original or interesting...wait, were you being sarcastic?

[–]thecatdoesdrugs 8 points9 points ago

just because it's intentional doesn't mean it's not worthless.

[–]Celltrex 1 point2 points ago

Foxes aren't scared of people?

[–]shavingtoo 7 points8 points ago

Arctic foxes make their living by following and scavenging the remains of Polar Bear meals.

[–]X-Heiko 0 points1 point ago

There's a good explanation in this very comment section.

[–]Celltrex 0 points1 point ago

I never understood how rabies work. Do they make them friendly? Or fearless?

[–]X-Heiko 0 points1 point ago

Fearless, I suppose. I have no idea of what exactly rabies are, though.
