I see videos on YouTube all the time of wild foxes approaching people, who pet them and welcome them into their laps. Weirdest thing ever, and then I think, “Aren’t foxes and bobcats the most commonly rabid animals.... aside from bats?”
I don’t know whether bobcats are rabid more often than skunks, or if it’s just that there are so many more skunks around. I’m wary of skunks, too.
