Get to know rylai, a friendly red fox who has taken the internet by storm with her very own Instagram account. Her social media pages document her daily life, including her meals, obedience training progress, and daily activities. Interestingly enough, her name is inspired by the popular video game DOTa2. Rylai’s fame signals a positive shift in public perception towards domesticated foxes, as it is common for these animals to be killed for their fur. Unlike Siberian foxes, which are bred in Russia to exhibit more dog-like qualities, Rylai is a product of breeding efforts in the United States to domesticate foxes. She is several generations removed from her wild counterpart.
