WILD FOX ATTACK; HOME SURVEILLANCE RECORDED JULY 2022

Fox sightings can be rare, given their generally nocturnal nature, according to Wildlife Informer, but this doesn’t mean can't be seen during the day. While Wildlife Online explains there are no estimates of the global fox population, Peturity says there are 37 distinct species of fox. Only 12 of these species are “considered to be true foxes,” though.

With their rarity comes a lack of understanding of their behaviors and potential aggression in neighborhoods and the wild.

A startling video of a fox attack in upstate New York surfaced online this week. The footage, which appeared to be recorded by home surveillance cameras and is timestamped July 25, shows a woman fending off the animal as it repeatedly attacks her in the front yard of her home in Ithaca.

The soundless clip spans roughly 45 seconds. At its start, the woman is seen standing near a driveway with a phone to her ear when the fox runs up from behind and latches onto her leg. The woman attempts to kick and shake the animal off of her several times. A man then runs over carrying a large stick, and as he approaches the fox, it runs away.

Ed Russo, a meteorologist at CBS Harrisburg affiliate WHP-TV, shared the video on social media recently and identified the woman as his cousin. He said the fox tested positive for rabies after it was eventually caught and euthanized.

"A cousin of mine was attacked by a rabid fox in Ithaca, NY," he tweeted on Tuesday. "She's OK. But geez this video is crazy!"
