In the video, a black dog can be seen barking loudly, and next to it, a white-coloured "dog" tries to join in but instead lets out a high-pitched, peculiar sound¡ªturns out, it's not a dog, it's a fox!
This intriguing clip from May, originally captured in Lan Zhou Shi, China, has resurfaced on Reddit and is going viral once again.
The Reddit post is aptly titled, "A fox who grew up with a dog and tries to bark."
According to a Daily Mail report, the fox, named Zaizai, was bought as a one-month-old cub from a breeding farm last year and has been raised among dogs ever since.
Living the canine life, Zaizai even eats dog food and mimics the behaviors of its furry companions.
Clearly, it's not just humans embracing new identities¡ªZaizai seems to fully identify as a dog!
Not only does it attempt to bark, but it also acts like a guard dog, alerting its owners with its unique barks whenever it notices something unusual.
Interestingly, one of the most common fox sounds is a raspy bark, used to identify and communicate with other foxes. Another signature sound is a high-pitched howl that resembles a scream.
Zaizai's barking might just be its own unique blend of both, mixed with that of a dog's bark, shaped by its unusual upbringing!
