- Whitespot is a 18 month old wild vixen, daughter of Scar and Scarlett who have featured in previous videos. This is a compilation video of some of her visits during 2022 to a house and garden in Birmingham, UK.
Filmed on Z-Cam E2-M4, Panasonic GH5 and GoPro Hero 8 cameras in 4K UHD.

I live in a very rural area with lots of foxes, coyotes, skunks, raccoons, etc. One old fox followed me home from my acreage one day and came in through the cat doors in search of an easy meal. That Winter she moved inside full-time and slept either on a blanket by the back door or behind the computer where it was toasty warm. A baby skunk named Susie, who had been abandoned by her mother and bullied by her siblings, also came to live indoors. Never once was there a problem. Susie slept with the kittens, the fox stayed close to home, probably because she was old and had had a tough life. I learned far more from the fox, skunk, and cats, than they ever learned from me. I learned that sentient beings come in all sorts of forms.
You're lovely
Wow! Great story and experiences.
아름다운 이야기네요 😊
Makes me sad to think people kill these beings for fun and sport. I do get animal population control is important, but it makes me sad nonetheless.
Thank you for being you 💚
We had a vixen who was like this, back in the late 1990's. She would come round during the day and hang out with us. She was besotted with my late father and would go on walks with him, leading the way. One day, she left her cubs with us to look after while she took a few hours nap in a neighbour's garden.
Wonderful story, thanks for sharing 👍
That shows trust.
Wow
The real animals are those people who chase these beautiful animals until they are exhausted and then set the dogs on them. Wicked evil monsters.
Foxes are known to harbour a range of different parasites, both internally and externally, including various species of intestinal worms, flukes, lungworm, heartworm, tick, mite, flea, protozoan, virus, bacteria and fungi. Some of those of greatest concern, owing to them being zoonoses (i.e. can be transferred to humans), include Toxocara canis (dog roundworm), Echinococcus multilocularis (hyatid worm) and Trichinella spiralis (muscle worm)
I love it how she just very carefully stepped inside and respected his home. When she got the food, she went outside to eat it. These creatures are amazingly intelligent
Intelligent no doubt, but that not why it took it's food out to eat it. You are humanizing animal behavior when it has nothing to do with the animal trying to be courteous.
she went outside because she is still skittish and doesn''t want to be captured. When they eat they know they are vulnerable so it is best to eat where she can escape.
🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊🙊@@dude...are-you-sure
Dude live a little
They are very intelligent. That being said, we should be anthropomorphic about animal behavior.
I live in the country and there quite a few native whitetail deer in the area. I've managed to make friends with a big doe. Every evening she comes to greet me on the back deck. She will hang out for a while and watch whatever I am doing. She usually gets an apple or a carrot and a head scratch, visits for a while and rejoins the rest of the herd. This has been going on for about a year. I'm hoping she will bring her new fawn for a visit in the future.
You think you are helping that doe? You are only hurting it by making it loose its fear of humans. It probably won't make it through the next hunting season. It's going to walk up to a hunter and get lead not apples moron. NEVER FEED WILD ANIMALS !!!
She might and you are blessed to have such a lovely creature in your life animals know who loves them even wild things
Hey give us some videos please?
Lovely how careful the fox grabs the eggs ^_^ 🦊🥚
try it with a dog they'll do the same 🙂
Carefully
@@newmankidman5763 Egg zactly.😃
@@CB-xr1eg, nice wordplay
I don't like how he resists letting him have the egg and then sticks his finger in its mouth. Its a wild animal not a small puppy.
Absolutely beautiful! Beautiful fox and beautiful relationship between fox and man. A true delight to see!!!

Agree 👏👏👏
Foxes are fabulous❤😂
How different this world would be with more people like Steve 💚💚💚

NEVER FEED WILD ANIMALS !!!
There'd be fewer vegans for sure.
Because the average person just hates animals with a passion, right? Especially cute and smart animals like foxes...
@@strawberryfields95 why do you say like that?
I’m admiring the beauty … and the sudden crunching of the chicken bones reminded me that this isn’t just a pretty puppy!😽
We never fed chicken to our dogs because of the bone issue.
Real people and real men always protect animals including feeding! Well done!
Proper men💪💪💪💪💪
Unfortunately he is putting the foxes in danger because they have no fear of man now and the next person they come up to might not be friendly at all
@@Mikel3564 foxes and man have been interacting since ancient times ,do some res search before trying act smart LOL mug
It's never good to encourage wild animals to scavenge around peop!we houses. They do bite and they do stink.
@@lgparker4726 u ovioisly don’t love animals then hahaha
I love these friendships with wild animals that are born from a simple need for food and kindness .
Your kindness to the wildlife is awesome x
You do realize he is weakening the little creature and making it dependent ^_^'
@@cologist some creatures (like this little guy) want/need the interaction to survive. With him accepting feed, it also gives the carer an opportunity to hive medication when needed
Those creatures keep rabits and other rodents away... It is the reason that cats became somewhat domesticated.
@@urrywest Ironically the more it depends on this man as a food source the less it will be inclined to hunt rodents. Also this fox is going to lose its fear of humans in general and start approaching them. That would be to its detriment.
And finally is domestication really an ideal outcome for a wild animal? Yes by allying with us, it increases its chances of survival but it loses its freedom and ability to live without us. Foxes and wolves aren't in shelters waiting to be euthanized ^_^
@@Audrey-vz9hx You don't have any idea what you're talking about. 🙄 And this fox is visibly healthy in each and every clip, regardless.
For every human home that will feed a wild fox, five others will get out the shotgun. When you feed a wild fox, you're teaching it to trust people that shouldn't be trusted.
Is it my imagination, or does she have especially beautiful eyes?
Hello Maria
How are you doing today?
Check out, save a fox channel.
Foxes are a beautiful animals, we have one showing up during summer, always at the same time between 7:30 - 7:45 to pick up the scraps we leave outside
She does have lovely eyes.

What an adorable beautiful animal, and your kindness and understanding to nature is just amazing ❤

What a little sweetheart! Notice how gently, politely & gingerly it accepts it's food without nipping the massah's fingers!
His fingers aren't that massive.
CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH! Bone and All! Love it
Such a beautiful relationship. :) Thank you for sharing.
That is one healthy, well-fed fox. Lovely footage.
What a beautiful, precious creature. Thank you for posting this, you are very fortunate to get this close to her. Tells a great deal about you, as a human. Well done.
Fortunate because he feeds the fox, I’m sure if I started feeding any wildlife constantly I’d have a relationship. Unfortunately for the wild fox it’s now dependent upon humans to feed it.
@@dianepeck3290 Yes, really sad to think that the moment the fox stops receiving food from this human that it will immediately fall over and die. It's a wild animal, it can fend for itself, with or without people. Expand your horizons, just a little bit, if possible.
@@greyman1k It will and could survive .Different species but hooded crows trust me and walk along by my side .Yes I do give water and food treats .They still go elsewhere.
Great to see how much trust is built over time that she is entering the house knowing it is safe.
MERCI MERCI pour ce petit renard vous lui apporter beaucoup je vous embrasse très fort MONSIEUR
Thank you kind hearted people, have a good meal, dear fox
She's in great condition.
What an achievement to have gained her trust.
The first thing that really made me smile today was seeing that little fox in a bed the the generous and empathetic gentleman bought for him/her. How precious! 💗
I was feeding wild squirrel at my home in Oregon. One day I had nothing to give. He followed me into my house chirping all angry like and refused to leave. I gave him a piece of bread after like 15 minutes and he happily left. Lol 😂
Sounds exactly like Zelensky.
Looks very healthy. Lovely to see the trust building.
well fed
... Please keep these film clips coming, as they're refreshing and soothing to my soul ... Best regards ...
Feeding wild foxes does nothing but harm them. Look it up. If everyone did this, we would wipe them out.
So wholesome, that old man is a gem and so is the fox. I love their relationship :)
Totally awesome! Looks like the fox just about moved in and has an email address.
Thank you for sharing-I love watching these❤️🦊
Hello Melinda
How are you doing today?
Wait... so the parent foxes taught their pup to go to your home for food and friendship??? That's kind of amazing! It's kinda like seeing the domestication of canines in action, repeat this process for thousands of years and you get the modern dog haha!
it's cute when it's just one family of foxes, but wait until they start telling their cousins
Not even thousands of years. Just takes a few decades if they keep being encouraged.
At some point this man is going to not be there anymore, and they might starve.
@@budgetcoinhunter It's believed that it was the wolves that were the least afraid of humans, and hung around their campfires that became the dogs we see today.
Foxes aren’t really canines though. More closely related to cats. But yeah same process.
Awesome, it looks like they both found each other for the right reasons. 🦊🦊
Thank you. My little Dog's name is Foxie, because he looks like. And your Fox probably would like to stay in your place. 🙋🍀🙏🇵🇱
So cute. Love foxes
❤❤ Thank you so much for your kindness towards this beautiful fox, I love the part where the man is standing in the kitchen turns round and the fox is standing there, he just chats along with the fix it's so kind and melted my heart what a kind lovely man
Goes back and tells all his friends about the magic door. "Dude, all I do is walk on up, it opens and the food comes out!" They're all like "sure ya do." 👌
Whitespot’s eyes reveal an unmistakable and real intelligence. Also, the video quality and lighting are spectacular. We can tell you are a professional, Steve. In addition to a “Warning-Video Surveillance” sign in your front yard could add a second: “Addendum for would be burglars- Job interview attire recommended. Also comb your hair and smile. Living room has best camera angles and lighting for improv.” Feel to translate my suggestion from American English to English English.-Mark (California)
The bond between humans and animals is such a blessing 👍
Here I am ... again . Watching .... again . This never gets old . And the music goes so well with the clip . Love it . 🥰💗💚
Awww the fox completely trusts you 😍 thankyou for looking after her ❤
*A Dearest Wee Soul.* The complete intelligence emanating.
Thank you, Steve. Rab 🌠 💚
PS. You are blessed! And why not? 😎
Beautiful video and beautiful music. Well done.
❤❤❤........i love foxes ❤....thankyou for helping foxes❤
There are still some human angels! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a cutie, my dad had a fox and a coyote and both loved living with my dad's wolves and huskies
Thank you for sharing!
This warms the heart & brings peace to the soul... A Man & His Pup.
What a sweetheart Mr fox is!! Thank you so much for being such a caring fox neighbor ❤️ 💗 💕 you're a wonderful human being!!!
What a beautiful little girl 💕 Thankyou for treating her with such kindness 🌈🦊
So kind of u sir. U have shown what love can do
This video made me smile. You two seem to have a wonderful relationship and it is so sweet how gently the fox takes the food from your hand. I loved how the fox mouthed your hand and gave you a lick.
Such a good looking fox and the way she enjoys coming around. So much of the time you hear about people mistreating these beautiful critters. You have done a great job nurturing the relationship you have with one.
These are the things you'll see again in heaven...and the spirits of all the Earth thank you now. Your kindness radiates more than you may imagine, Steve.
Mighty blessings your way. :-)
Very heartwarming scenes! Thank you!
I love it!!!! Thanks for showing us!
So gentle when taking food from you... It really trusts you
I love this. Thank you Sir!! I'm a animal lover too. Each chance I get I do what I can for all animals including racoons. Even though animals can fin for themselves they need a little help every now and then. It's not always easy for them especially mothers trying to feed their youngs. 😊❤️😘
Thank you for just being a wonderful human being. ❤️
Svaka čast plemenitom gospodinu.Saradnja je na nivou,a indirektno je spasao i neka druga bića,hraneći ovu lepoticu.
Wonderful . Such a lovely creature .
This is so heartwarming this man and fox have created a bond which is beneficial to both of them
No it isn't, it's doing the fox a huge disservice. Wild animals should not see humans as a food source
Thank you for being kind to this beautiful being 💚
Glorious! I have only seen three wild foxes in my life. This is just wonderful
and how he comes into your house!!! Thank you so much for taking care
of the fox.
Aww I absolutely love watching this, thank you for looking after and loving this gorgeous and beautiful fox, I used to feed a family of foxes when I lived near some woods. I wish there were more people like you xxx❤❤❤
Two good souls coming together. ❤️
I really enjoy watching friendship between Steve and fox !
Looks like you made a beautiful friend! Very beautiful and healthy looking animal. You’re very lucky to have this kind of friendship with a wild fox.👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
I have had a fox all summer, I enjoy seeing him ..
I had a friend who trained an alligator like this. He had marvellous patience. He had to take baby steps, sitting on the edge of a river, one day at a time with a fish and put it closer and closer to himself over many months. Finally he told me he reached the day when it would take it from his hands. I don't know what happened because I lost touch with him after that. No one has seen him around for quite a while now.
🤣
I see what you did there.
The alligator knows where he is......🐊
😂😂 burp
Ha Ha
❤❤❤ thank you for your loving kind heart
Beautiful fox to
What a pleasant video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Absolutely amazing!!
Beautiful. And thank you for doing what you do. Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
THANK YOU SIR FOR TAKING GOOD CARE OF HIM. GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you sir it's beautiful 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Upload more like this. Nice!
What a great Story thank you 😊
Oh !! Merveilleux !! Merci Monsieur pour cette gentillesse !!
Please keep caring for him, as much as possible. If I had that fox I'd surely give him a place in my home. A companion of mine.
Gorgeous and looks so perfectly healthy (likely helped by the hand feeding of nutrients-rich foods so she never starves). It must be so cool to have wild foxes around.
A Fox with table manners.
No eating on the carpet.
Very nice.
Beautiful Fox ❤than you for caring. ❤😊
Foxes are wonderfully gentle creatures.
There not gentle around your chickens.
@@MuffHam Of course.
What a silly statement they are varacious killers ask any farmer!
OMG!So cute!Indeed a beautiful relationship!❤️
