I'm Ojibway from northern Ontario and we always identified these guys according to colour ... Red Fox, Black Fox or White Fox (aka Arctic Fox) ... I know Arctic Fox is a separate species and it is rare in my area but we still see it as its a cousin to the Red/Black variety.
yes but melanism occurs at different rates in different species. a melanistic fox can be rarer than a melanistic jaguar, in the same way that a two-headed dog is rarer than a two-headed snake
do I have data on whether different species have different genes, and thus are affected differently by genetic conditions? I mean, it's just sort of inherent to the concept of species, no? I guess as a specific example, I could say that the rate of melanism in humans is none, and the rate of melanism in some other species is not none, as evidenced by the fact that the concept of melanism exists, therefore melanism doesn't occur in all species at the same rate

A type of Silver Fox .... basically a Red Fox with a genetic mutation that alters its usual red fur colouring with a darker brown or black colour.

Fire/Fighting or Fire/Dark?

It is on four legs, which rules out fire/fighting.

There are fighting types on four legs though.

Fire/Fighting is such a tired type. Houndour and Houndoom would appreciate some same-type friends.

Is it really rare, or just very hard to spot?

Got any data on that?

That's not exactly data specific to the claim in the post, which is my question. Sorry for asking basic scientific questions.
arctanthrope@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 98d
well I didn't make the claim in the post, so I don't know why you're asking me to justify it
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 98d
Fair, I conflated the rarest claim with your facts. Sorry about that. Cheers, mate.
