White Spotting in European Red Foxes

Here’s another weird color mutation I’ve been finding examples of recently. The top fox was killed in the UK, while the bottom two were killed in the Netherlands as part of an unrelated research project.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find out any more information about it, other then this spotting appears to be common in foxes in the South Limburg region of the Netherlands, (suggesting it’s genetic and not a random mutation.)

Clearly it’s a less dramatic form of leucisum, but if anyone has anymore info/pictures of this mutation then please let me know! I’m really fascinated by the variation in color of both wild and captive-bred foxes.
