Sure, but most of the time, the fleas that attach to animals and humans are a bit different, right? I haven't heard of humans being infested with fleas before. They can, however, carry diseases. I think it's been mostly eradicated, especially in pets, but Rabies is an a terrifying disease. If you experience symptoms, it's already too late, unless you're a descendant of some tribe somewhere, that developed partial immunity to the virus.

It just ended up living around the farm like a dog! I always thought that was so cool to hear about.

Foxes are THE BEST! I had an urban fox friend from when he was young, it was at work but it was in an area where it wouldn’t be safe to teach him that humans are safe to trust so I didn’t try and pet it but used to play chase with him to condition him to run from people that got too close. I worked security in a construction recycling centre at night so I’d chase him around and up mountains of recycling, we had SO much fun. Because he was young inevitably he got hit by cars a few times and he’d always come hobbling to me for food because he knew the food I fed him would fix him up much better than the rats he’d hunt. When he was injured he didn’t even try to hobble away from me, we were true friends in those moments, I still didn’t try to pet him though. When he found a mate she built her den in a skip at the back of the site and he introduce me to his kids, he introduced me to his kids and literally paraded his only son in front of me one night, he was such a proud dad. He got to the age where he wasn’t really playful anymore and we just used to hang out, he’d do patrols with me and walk with me like a guard dog. Wild foxes don’t tend to live for more than 2 years at most in an urban environment for various reasons but my Buddy was well over 4 by the time I had to leave him and he was smart as a whip, I know he lived a long time after I left but the saddest thing about helping him live a long life was that he actually had a few mates over the years but he outlived all of them, we went through a lot of his losses together. Foxes know love, I’ve seen their mourning first hand and it’s deep. I have the video of him introducing me to his kids and parading his son on my phone to this day, I’ll have to upload it to YT one day. Edit: The video is on my channel if anyone else wants to to see it.

You are so fortunate to have had that bond with the fox. I too had a lovely fox friend. I saw him as a cub down the bottom of a mine shaft dehydrated and dying. I climbed down and got him out, took him home, hydrated and fed him, wormed him and got him back to health. I named him Blue because that is a nickname that us Australians call redheads. We would play together for hours wrestling around on the floor and outside on the lawn. At the time I also had a chihuahua and a kelpie. Bluey and the chihuahua would play together but the kelpie pretended she could not see the fox. Bluey grew into a lovely red fox with beautiful red fur and a bushy tail and he would walk on the lead and ride in the car. When he was about a year and a half old we were walking near a creek where there were blackberry bushes and lots of rabbits. Bluey could smell the presence of the the rabbits. I let him off the lead. He ran a distance away, then turned and gazed at me for for several moments as if he was saying goodbye, just like in a movie, then he turned and ran off into the wilds and I never saw him again. I hope Bluey had a good life.

Good thing rabies isn’t really a thing in the UK
@MegaBeastguy Жыл бұрын
There are zero cases of rabies in the UK now due to our insanely strict animal importing laws. So you've actually never seen a rabid fox or any rabid animal in the UK, although there can be illnesses that mimic the virus so could easily be mistaken for rabies. I believe we eradicated it in the early 1920s so we've not had it for nearly a century now. However, the mass importing of dogs and cats from other countries as part of rescue schemes to the UK means that the likelihood of rabies being reintroduced is pretty high. The dangers with foxes are due to the few but savage random attacks on sleeping people and babies in urban areas. There are a few serious cases where people required plastic surgery due to a hungry fox sneaking through the window and biting their faces, tearing their lips off. One case rather recently involved a small baby who was nearly killed after a fox tried to attack them. So it's pretty serious stuff to befriend foxes, especially urban foxes. There's a reason why they have to remain distant to humans. They don't always want to be your friend if they are desperately hungry. It's a shame because I absolutely love foxes, but I wouldn't ever want to semi-tame one because it actually puts them at risk of being destroyed.

Yes a Russian breeder started breeding generations of foxes so that like dogs they will be domesticated over time and develop features that aid in a domesticated life such as floppy ears to protect their sensitive hearing in populated areas, but this would not effect any wild foxes as A. The domesticated foxes would have to be released to then breed with the wild foxes and B. It would take several generations of breeding for wild foxes to adopt domesticated traits. Wild foxes acting friendly is more akin to cats and how they chose to incorporate themselves in to human populations leading to a eventual symbiotic relationship where cats would catch vermin and the farmers etc. Would reward the cats to keep them doing the work so foxes acting charming and friendly so that they are tolerated by humans and have access to our bins etc

Another newfie here, my uncle raised a fox as a pet that got stuck in one of his rabbit snares and he saved it and raised it. It used to live in the shed (a heated shed even though they have no issue with the cold anyways) that they could come and go from, eventually my uncle would take the fox with him the check snares and when he got older and had trouble bending over, the fox even learned how to take the rabbits from the snares and bring them to my uncle.

One thing you must remember after playing with wild animals is that they tend to have a ton of fleas.
Sure, but most of the time, the fleas that attach to animals and humans are a bit different, right? I haven't heard of humans being infested with fleas before. They can, however, carry diseases. I think it's been mostly eradicated, especially in pets, but Rabies is an a terrifying disease. If you experience symptoms, it's already too late, unless you're a descendant of some tribe somewhere, that developed partial immunity to the virus.

It just ended up living around the farm like a dog! I always thought that was so cool to hear about.

Cats biologically have a lower IQ than average dogs. So Foxes being smart relates more to dogs. Also cats lack sympathy and empathy, therefore your pet cat doesn't give 2 shits about you and only uses you for food and shelter.

But it is very unlikely that they bite anyone. Including children. Unless they have rabies, in which case you can't blame the fox itself.

Dora the explorer's Swiper the fox whole career
Foxes are THE BEST! I had an urban fox friend from when he was young, it was at work but it was in an area where it wouldn’t be safe to teach him that humans are safe to trust so I didn’t try and pet it but used to play chase with him to condition him to run from people that got too close. I worked security in a construction recycling centre at night so I’d chase him around and up mountains of recycling, we had SO much fun. Because he was young inevitably he got hit by cars a few times and he’d always come hobbling to me for food because he knew the food I fed him would fix him up much better than the rats he’d hunt. When he was injured he didn’t even try to hobble away from me, we were true friends in those moments, I still didn’t try to pet him though. When he found a mate she built her den in a skip at the back of the site and he introduce me to his kids, he introduced me to his kids and literally paraded his only son in front of me one night, he was such a proud dad. He got to the age where he wasn’t really playful anymore and we just used to hang out, he’d do patrols with me and walk with me like a guard dog. Wild foxes don’t tend to live for more than 2 years at most in an urban environment for various reasons but my Buddy was well over 4 by the time I had to leave him and he was smart as a whip, I know he lived a long time after I left but the saddest thing about helping him live a long life was that he actually had a few mates over the years but he outlived all of them, we went through a lot of his losses together. Foxes know love, I’ve seen their mourning first hand and it’s deep. I have the video of him introducing me to his kids and parading his son on my phone to this day, I’ll have to upload it to YT one day. Edit: The video is on my channel if anyone else wants to to see it.
Please upload that video one day !! That sounds like such a beautiful bond 😭 foxes are such wonderful creatures
You are so fortunate to have had that bond with the fox. I too had a lovely fox friend. I saw him as a cub down the bottom of a mine shaft dehydrated and dying. I climbed down and got him out, took him home, hydrated and fed him, wormed him and got him back to health. I named him Blue because that is a nickname that us Australians call redheads. We would play together for hours wrestling around on the floor and outside on the lawn. At the time I also had a chihuahua and a kelpie. Bluey and the chihuahua would play together but the kelpie pretended she could not see the fox. Bluey grew into a lovely red fox with beautiful red fur and a bushy tail and he would walk on the lead and ride in the car. When he was about a year and a half old we were walking near a creek where there were blackberry bushes and lots of rabbits. Bluey could smell the presence of the the rabbits. I let him off the lead. He ran a distance away, then turned and gazed at me for for several moments as if he was saying goodbye, just like in a movie, then he turned and ran off into the wilds and I never saw him again. I hope Bluey had a good life.

Good thing rabies isn’t really a thing in the UK
There are zero cases of rabies in the UK now due to our insanely strict animal importing laws. So you've actually never seen a rabid fox or any rabid animal in the UK, although there can be illnesses that mimic the virus so could easily be mistaken for rabies. I believe we eradicated it in the early 1920s so we've not had it for nearly a century now. However, the mass importing of dogs and cats from other countries as part of rescue schemes to the UK means that the likelihood of rabies being reintroduced is pretty high. The dangers with foxes are due to the few but savage random attacks on sleeping people and babies in urban areas. There are a few serious cases where people required plastic surgery due to a hungry fox sneaking through the window and biting their faces, tearing their lips off. One case rather recently involved a small baby who was nearly killed after a fox tried to attack them. So it's pretty serious stuff to befriend foxes, especially urban foxes. There's a reason why they have to remain distant to humans. They don't always want to be your friend if they are desperately hungry. It's a shame because I absolutely love foxes, but I wouldn't ever want to semi-tame one because it actually puts them at risk of being destroyed.
Lol rabbies, maybe the cunt who's feeding the fox has rabbies 🤣🤣🤣 foxes carry mange not rabbies
@AK Milli zero rabies in UK. There are diseases that mimic it, but we've been rabies free since 1920 or something like that. Good thing, because rabies lives in the soil for like 7 years if something has died and then decomposed, or leaked bodily fluid. It's absolutely lethal.
I seen foxes a few times in Glasgow a while back aswell
The people that can befriend foxes have got to be the chillest. I focused on being calm in a backyard with 3 of them while I was feeding them a croissant, but all of them were anxious asf the whole time
Oh there like that even as Democraticated*, they're just very sketches animals....and sort of like a Cat in a Doggos body. Edit*: I have no idea what that word is but I ment to put "Domesticated".
They react to whatever emotion you have its like part of animal communication via scent or pheromones
@@Ian-we2pq, true, a stretch animal will become calmer of the environment and things around them allow them to be calm. I've never petted a Wild Fox though I have seen a few, I've gotten closer...well have had deer get closer to me the. I've ever been close to a fox. And the Squirrel in my area I think have figured out that humans don't want to necessarily bother them so I've had Squirrel get really close to me before they dart off.
a croissant is such a weird choice haha
@@Jack-mb4jx Gonna go out on a limb here and say you meant domesticated.....
They also play with other wild animals, its quite sweet and endearing
He's calling foxes weird but he's wearing an aluminum foil jumpsuit.
I was working on San Clemente island and they have wild fox's with no natural predators. They'll come right up to you and eat out of your hand . Cute little buggers
That is so awesome
I love seeing Joe talking about animals
I agree, he has so many interests that are welcomed by so many, I believe that's a big reason his podcast is so big, one of those interests being animals.
This is why we should respect animals more. Being able to share time like this with an animal is pretty badass.
The best description of foxes I've heard is they're dog hardware running cat software.
Foxes used to be very vicious but a good portion of the population is starting to go the way of dogs and adapting to being more and more friendly to humans. It started as an experiment in Russia I believe and it’s carried over here to the states and they now have pretty much fully domesticated foxes to the point they are producing offspring that are docile and domesticated at birth.
False. Docile and domesticated are completely different. They are not domesticated.
@@billyyank5807 That's a long process, but it already started.
Are they really & truly domesticated? What about sudden & unexpected moves & motions? Uncertainties?
The controlled breeding in Russia produced foxes with floppy ears and it has had no effect on wild foxes in North America. They remain fully wild. If you see a fox be cautious.
Yes a Russian breeder started breeding generations of foxes so that like dogs they will be domesticated over time and develop features that aid in a domesticated life such as floppy ears to protect their sensitive hearing in populated areas, but this would not effect any wild foxes as A. The domesticated foxes would have to be released to then breed with the wild foxes and B. It would take several generations of breeding for wild foxes to adopt domesticated traits. Wild foxes acting friendly is more akin to cats and how they chose to incorporate themselves in to human populations leading to a eventual symbiotic relationship where cats would catch vermin and the farmers etc. Would reward the cats to keep them doing the work so foxes acting charming and friendly so that they are tolerated by humans and have access to our bins etc
All the loyalty of a dog, all the cuddles of a cat.
sounds like they were once a domesticated animal with instincts that make it friendly to humans
One fell in love with my Yorkie and would come courting. But one day it was hit by a car and my Yorkie would look for it. It was sad because I knew the fox wasn't coming back 😭.
That's super sad 😔 😟
In the wildlife rehabilitation centre where I used to work, we had to be quiet around healing foxes and not talk near them because they would get accustomed to our voices and become too tame to be rereleased.
Ah yes fluffy cat dog dolphin fusion 🗿
i find it more interesting that joe rogan is wearing a space suit while talking about foxes than the actual foxes
The problem with foxes they smell like skunk , no joke There's a wildlife center that I walk at you, smell them a mile away
That is so true...I worked at a private animal rescue. I cared for 14, red & silver fox. 🦊❤🦊 They are beautiful, adorable creatures, but no matter how clean their enclosure, the oily excretion & feces stink sooo bad. Smells so musky like a Skunk or Ferret only stronger, it will take your breath it is sooo strong.🦨😬🤢 Threaten it and watch out!! They can get vicious. **PLEASE keep them WILD, do not Domestic them and give poachers another poor animal to hunt, capture, breed & sell. It is HORRIBLE to do this to any species... because we humans go too far.🥴 Before you attack me with comments, please understand I have over 32 yrs in the animal industry/training/rescue and professional Master Pet Groomer, and I have seen the horror of this type of mentality. 🥺💔🤯 Sorry, not sorry...truth hurts, Just saying!💯🐾🪶🌿❤🌎✌ Save the planet & animals.
They are very friendly, I was waiting outside of a hospital after going in to A&E one day at around 4am and one was wondering about and came near me and sat when I started making a clicking sound.
I'm so glad I get to see Joe talk about foxes, they're so fucking cool
This whole video got me trippin I’m high asl
Same bro wdf
The isle del fino music is so perfect for this 😅
"They're beautiful little animals, foxes become your friend." ..."They're weird animals man"...
he is rigth no wild animal shuld be this friendly to humans considerely how fobic some humans can be with animals or other humans
yeah being actual friends nowadays is really weird
the best way ibe heard foxes described is "they're dog hardware running cat software, with a dolphin sound board"
*they'll start treating you like a dog* *me getting fed, bathed, walked and played by a fox* 💀💀💀
I can't believe he remembered Todd!! Holy shit flash back wow!
...and then proceeds to use Copper's line 🤣
I'm a hound dog a woo woo
In the original book, the hound dog kills the fox.
@@nickyoung8412 That's what we do when we find what we're been tracking.
My brother just rescued a fox today that had been hit hy a car and he named it todd lol
I had a fox that followed me to the train station every morning,when i stopped it would stop and hide
"they play with humans" I'm pretty sure a wildlife cameraman want to say otherwise
they are like the fine line between a cat and a dog
I've seen so many videos of foxes squeaking like they do and getting belly rubs, I almost think I want one LOL
Nah dont do it...they are cute and lovable but they are high maintiance. They require alot of attention and space. Youd be better off making friends with one in the wild and leaving them there like if you lived in the country or well outside the city.
@@robreesor5011 "i am too lazy for a high maintenance pet so you shouldn't get one either"
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 what exactly are you going on about here? Who said anything about me being lazy or having any intrest in having a high maintenance pet?
They are cool. Had a family of foxes back in Newfoundland were I grew up that let me feed them by hand and pet and cuddle with them. Then they let there babies come to us and let us pick them up no problems or fear of me at all. So awesome
Wow!! What a fantastic experience! ❤️
Another newfie here, my uncle raised a fox as a pet that got stuck in one of his rabbit snares and he saved it and raised it. It used to live in the shed (a heated shed even though they have no issue with the cold anyways) that they could come and go from, eventually my uncle would take the fox with him the check snares and when he got older and had trouble bending over, the fox even learned how to take the rabbits from the snares and bring them to my uncle.
Hello fellow newfies! They are everywhere around the island. Be kind to them, and they will show you absolute love. They are really intelligent creatures who know when you want company and that they are safe around you. I've been out in the woods camping before, had a pair of foxes drop in and hang around for my weekend trip. Playing around the fire, cuddling up in my lap, napping beside me in the open air. They love you if you love them!
@@matthew413 if the Albertans worked as hard as Newfie’s the Newfie’s wouldn’t have the jobs to fill lol
Fellow Newfie here as well from Trinity Bay. Even though they stink like hell, they are a very social, adorable, and playful little creature.
Jow needs his own wildlife show with Forrest Galante.
"Foxs are beautiful animals" "Theyre weird Animals"
The Fox’s Ancestors: “No no no, that’s exactly what they did to Jake and then his entire bloodline was never the same!”
My dad had a pet fox for many years when he was living in Ireland. The fox was raised from young and used to be best friends with his dogs.
I was a teen walking home from a party one night (across an oval) and this fox comes out of nowhere and just silently follows me for 100m. Every time I stopped, he just stopped and looked at me. Now I realise he just wanted to play!
☠️☠️☠️
You don't fuck with strange animals that follow you at night. That's how you become a missing person statistic. Keep eye contact with the animal and calmly walk away from that area.
@@madukadilshan2380 show me statistics where Fox’s kidnap humans and make them disappear, if you can’t then you’re just dumb as fuck
@@madukadilshan2380 bro it was a fox LOL dude couldve killed it in one kick
@@madukadilshan2380 Its just a fox 😂😂
I like how ethusiastic Joe is about animals
I just said that exact thing lol
Foxes are the best dog and cat combo
And they can easily have rabbies, don't start giving belly rubs to random foxes
Do you always think the worst in every situation?
try and fucking stop me.
Well in that case you shouldn’t pet any stray animal be it dogs or cats even if you want to nitpick
They can carry rabies and spread it without being sick. So can many animals. They can carry rabies for months before getting sick.
Rabies is damn near non existent in north America guys. If anything worry of fleas
They are extremely smart. And they know a good gig when they see one.
Exactly. They are very smart, and smart animals recognize a threat vs a possible friend.
They're adorable till they're screaming bloody murder at 3am
They're cute as hell til they scream. 😂
When i was working at my old job i had a fox come up to me every morning at about 6a.m. on the dot. I’d give him a something to eat every day. Over awhile he’d get closer and closer. To the point he’d follow me around while driving my pay loader. Needless to say.. They are truly beautiful animals. I still hope he’s doing alright!
He won't be because he started depending on you as a food source for probably quite a long time. Chances are he's dead now 😂
Love Foxes .... I've studied them in the wild around my area where they're in abundance.... Absolutely intelligent & gorgeous animals. If one comes up to you?, Consider yourself lucky, as they will not just approach anyone. Pls be kind to them, maybe in return they'll love you back😉😁
Beautiful little souls that should be protected at all Costs these little fluff balls
“how crazy is that, that you can pet a fox” -Joe Rogan
A fox try to make friends with my shih Tzu thru the fence, until a wild cat freaked out to get the fox out of its territory
The wild cat might eat your tiny shih tzu dog! Was it a bobcat or lynx or cougar? A cougar would attack you! Why do you allow a wildcat that close to your house? You need to put up motion detector lights and use a megaphone to amplify your voice to scare the wildcat away.
@@Mary_Thompson we live in a big neighborhood, with like 8 feral cats, this was one of them, real fluffy hair like a Persian. Think it had kittens near by at the time. My shih Tzu like 15 lbs, and the fox wasn't intimidated by me there either, figured someone was feeding it
@@mwara2444 O.K. A feral domesticated Persian housecat is no problem. I was thinking you meant a lynx.
There were two foxes that would come hang out with us at the campfire at my grandad’s house up in Michigan. Good times.
"it's Todd, I'm a hound 🐶🐶🐶 dog" cutest movie ever...fox and hound
Always watched that as a kid growing up, don't remember much but I'm pretty sure I didn't watch it again cuz it was sad lol
I’m lucky to get loads of foxes coming through my area. Usually all very skittish. This year though I’ve been out smoking joints at night in the garden and I now have a fox friend. Lil dude will come up, groom himself, eat and sleep next to me anytime I’m out. All I gotta do is light a joint and homie appears 😂
They’re really cool animals, they’re just pretty elusive too so it can be hard to see them
Foxes: dog hardware running on cat software ...
Foxes are one of the very few wild animals that can be domesticated.
tamed, maybe. Domesticated? Nah.
"It'll be a f*cking different story, if it was a grizzly bear.." - Joe Rogan
Cocaine Bear enters the chat 😂🤣
So basically a wild fox is nicer than my domesticated cat
They are cats in dog bodies with the vocal cords of dolphins
they look so well adjusted and friendly... I'm thinking about raising a leopard seal in my bathtub
Spit out a little coffee at that one 😂
The delfina plaza music in the background was an interesting touch lmaoo
Now you know how I acquired 47 foxes.
I saw an all white one and an all red one camping with my gf. They came right up to us and they were so nice as well. I love these animals.
Me running around Ghost of Tsushima petting every fox I can.
To be clear, a friendly wild fox is not the same as a "tame" or domesticated fox. It's still a wild animal, so before anyone gets any ideas, proceed with caution
I agree with u!!!
You can definitely tell that humans where mix breeding wolves with foxes and coyotes and every other dog breed we found friendly enough to keep around.
Love listening to that man while both of us are high
