The Black Fox of Salmon River is a canine cryptid near North Westchester, Connecticut.

According to superstitions, seeing the black fox is bad luck.

Silver Fox

A silver fox

Silver foxes have been seen in the wild. Silver foxes are a melanistic variant of red fox, which does live in Connecticut. Melanistic animals are about as common as albino animals, where instead of not producing enough melanin, the body produces an overabundance of melanin, turning the skin and fur a darker color.
