They are! They're grey foxes, Urocyon cinereoargenteus. They're the largest native fox in the Southeast. They can be 4' long.
On another note, it was extremely cold this morning! Coldest day of the year so far. We had a hard freeze, it was 24° and windy as the sun came up. The sunrise was to die for! My plants are crispy though lol
They'll be fine! Indeed, they'll likely thrive come spring. These species can be found quite a bit farther north than where I'm at, and routinely get snowed on. Typically in the spring after a good cold snap like this, they flower quite a bit more vigorously than normal. I am looking forward to a good seed harvest this fall!
I thought for sure they weren’t ment to get frost on them like that.
Here in SE NC, we have venus fly traps. Don't know the genus name. Anyway, the native population has been repeatedly poached and they've had to take desperate measures to prevent it. Cameras and such. It really chaps my #%? Everytime I hear one of these stories. It's good to hear about someone like you who's taking real and responsible action to preserve a natural habitat like this.
I assume so yeah. A big market for a lot of plants honestly, carnivorous especially.
