Pet fox plays with a toy fox

A bizarre video has emerged from the UK of a pet fox playing with a stuffed toy fox at a home in Newton Abbot earlier this week

The video shows Mr Scamper, a silver fox, jumping around on the sofa biting the toy.

The silver fox is a darker form of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes).

Silver foxes vary greatly in colour. Some, like Mr Scamper, are completely black with white on the tail, some are bluish-grey, and some are ashy grey on the sides.
