The homeowner set up a number of traps in an effort to contain the animal, but it proved to be really clever and constantly managed to get away.

Finally, after a number of back and forths, the homeowner succeded in their attention and brought the animal to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota (WRC). The staff at WRC identified the animal as a red fox with a severe case of mange. Mange is a type of skin illness that is caused by parasitic mites and causes the animals to lose their fur.

After spending more than a month in the hospital, the clever red fox started recovering. It has grown back its fur and became more energetic by the day. 

“Anyone could see that this fox was more than ready to return home, and so as soon as our vets were confident he no longer needed supportive care, back to the wild he went,” WRC wrote in a Facebook post while attaching a video of animal’s return to its natural habitat.

Thorn recorded the entire thing and posted it on his YouTube channel. The clip shows the red fox carefully listening to Thorn’s music before taking a walk to stretch her legs. However, as soon as Thorn stopped playing, the fox returned to her seat and demanded an encore.

As it turns out, this wasn’t the first time that the music-loving red fox enjoyed one of Thorn’s performances. Thorn, who is part of the American jam band Leftover Salmon, also shared a video of the same fox stopping by while he was singing Sweet’s 1974’s hit “Fox on The Run.”

Thorn also enjoyed the visits from his new fan and even became inspired to write several songs in honor of the red fox. This led him to release a brand new album titled Fox Songs and Other Tales from the Pandemic.

“The fox provided constant feedback. Sometimes he was kind of a snob. He would’ve preferred for all the songs to be about him,” Thorn revealed in a chat with Americana UK.

Nature Ecology and Evolution journal published the study in which researchers analyzed the red fox genomes and found specific groups of genes that differed between the fierce and the friendly ones.

The research started in 1959 in Russia. The geneticist who started it, Dmitri Belyaev, unfortunately, didn’t live to see the final results of his hypothesis, but his hunch was confirmed.
