It's not something that's limited to the Lakes Region. Down here in PA, I nearly ran over a completely bald fox crossing a busy road at noon on Wednesday. It seemed somewhat disoriented, but trotted across the bypass and back into the woods.

Poor things seem to be especially prone to mange, which is reportedly a slow and agonizing way to go. It's probably the third or fourth such case I've seen in SE PA over the years. But this one was particularly disturbing as the fox was completely devoid of its coat.

The Kingswood fox pictured above appears to have it as well, given the patchy coat.
