Red Fox at Inlet Beach

[gratefulmama]

While we were driving along Inlet Beach Saturday evening at 7:30, we saw a Red Fox in the underbrush along the dunes. We backed the car up and he ran off.

My daughter and I were just walking along the surf when we noticed the fox roaming the beach and heading for shore. We quickly headed back to the walkway!!! It was about 11:00 at night!

Is this normal behavior? We left a fox living in our backyard in GA;; didn't expect to see one here.

He faked a heart attack and said "Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join you".

Thanks Geo and Lou. I was thinking the same thing. As long as the fox runs away from you, then yes, it is pretty normal. Lots of wildlife at different times in our area. Bears and foxes are two you might see.

Seeing a fox in SoWal isn't uncommon.

I saw them for the first time ever in SoWal. I'm sure they are here in Texas too..but they're sly you know.

And really good looking. I see them twice a year or so. It's the bobcat, bear, surfing alligator sightings that are more rare. Yes- surfing... IN. THE. GULF...

There is a thread around here with pics to prove it...

Awesome! That is why we love SoWal! My daughter was a bit freaked - I was ok... She is 13 and gets freaked about everything. Again, this is why we love SoWal!!!

I worry about Bull & Tiger Sharks in the Gulf; Alligators are not something I'm looking out for! I hope not to run into any of these 3 when I'm out there swimming...

This is one of the many things I love about SoWal: the feeling that you're in the wild, and that the place belongs to other species too.
