I really hope you thoroughly cleaned that door, and took strong safety precautions when doing so. Rabies is transmitted through saliva, so that door is probably *covered* in it.
Soapy water, let alone anything like lysol or bleach will kill any possible rabies germs left on that glass that somehow might not be dead from exposure.
@@alphax4785 By "thoroughly", I meant more "not missing a spot" than "kill it with nuclear hellfire". Cleaning it with bleach while wearing gloves to avoid accidental contact, that sorta thing. You don't wanna take any chances, with rabies. I'd probably even go so far as to get a rabies shot after doing the cleanup, but I admit I'm probably being a bit over the top there.
This is so sad. Brings back a terrifying memory of biking with my little brother in the cul de sac of our grandparents home and hearing this weird noise. We turned around and it was a Fox frothing at the mouth and running towards us. We took off biking as fast as we could towards our grandparents house but we were a little ways away. We started screaming and I remember my mom and grandparents coming out onto the porch and watching helplessly as we biked with this rabid fox on our tail. He was biting my brothers back tire, he was so close. We biked right up to the edge of the porch and dove on it while my grandfather threw a flower pot at the Fox to distract it. It attacked my brothers bike like crazy as they dragged us inside. They called fish and game and they came and shot the Fox and then said they found a whole litter of rabid Fox babies in the woods right nearby that also sadly had to be exterminated. Will never forget that! Rabies is messed up. I also encountered a rabid moose just a year or two later (thankfully was inside a K mart at the time) and it was stomping cars in the parking lot and hit its horns against the glass window of the entrance. Am I the only one with weird rabid animal stories? Lol
Why were your parents/grandparents watching “helplessly”? Were they injured or disabled or something? Those moose are batshit crazy even when they’re not rabid too! The things you described about the moose are things that they do normally, so I couldn’t imagine seeing one do it when it was rabid!! I bet that was a CRAZY sight to see firsthand! You’re lucky that the crazy bastard didn’t manage to get inside the K-Mart you were in bc that would’ve really been a shit show!😂
No, I grew up on a farm...when I was 9 I was riding my pony along our usual trail. Out of nowhere a fox came charging out of the woods. It chased us the whole way home. We galloped as fast as my little pony could to the barn, but it was still on us. We just kept going and I kept screaming for help. Finally, after riding past the kitchen window and screaming. My uncle came outside with a gun. He was able to distract the tired fox and shoot it. Thank goodness my pony didn't throw me or tire out before that crazy fox.
I remember when i was younger, before i could drive, i had to do a bit of walking getting around and being where i was... it meant some long dark streets with no lights and no houses, barely any cars went by. I told people that it made me nervous, and they'd say I'm ridiculous there's nothing there at night that isn't there during the day. It wasn't the animals that concerned me though, it was the possibility of rabies. And actually, i have experienced a few rabid animals throughout my life. The first time i was really young, i was playing out in this field next to my house when i noticed this racoon came walking over towards me looking a little staggered and confused. I knew that it meant keep away and tell someone so i did. And it did turn out to be rabid when they tested it. Fortunately it's been dumb rabied each time, because a friend of mine said he was out in these woods, when an aggressive rabid racoon came at him. He said he went up on this big rock out there and waited for someone to hear him. Whole time this thing was falling over snarling at him having seizures, it definitely makes you aware of careful you need to be. And growing up in the 80s i didn't even understand just exactly how deadly it was. I was mostly afraid of getting a bunch of shots in the stomach and being sick. It's much more severe than just 'sick'. And the treatment is easier today, it's really the cost of the medicine that hurts now.
Rabies is a horrible and terrifying disease. It's 100% fatal, and it's AGONIZINGLY painful. You're dying of thirst, but water is excruciatingly painful and you can't drink it. You're wracked by a high fever, your whole body hurts like you're being electrocuted. That's why animals bite things and behave aggressively. Humans do the exact same thing when infected. It's so cruel. Get your animals vaccinated.
You can just see the lack of... soul in his eyes when he stares at the camera. Sure he stares kinda like a fox would but the eyes are far too gone to look even remotely similar to what they normally would, like a zombie in those zombie movies they stare pretty much the same.
I have rabies immunity, and donate plasma twice a week that gets used to make rabies treatment. The money is nice, but my biggest fear has always been madness, so I'm grateful I can help save others from such a twisted and cruel fate, even if it's indirectly.
So you're the only person in the whole world who survived rabies? Because as far as I'm aware there has only been 1 individual ever to survive and recover from it. You're telling me that's you? I find that hard to believe.
I call bullshit for the sake of farming likes There is only one person who ever survived rabies due to a immunity without medical treatment. So how would you know??? This is not something doctors scan for Also what would that blood donation even do??? It cannot cure the disease and for prevention there is a vaccine
The idea of seeing it in your house and it looking scary isnt nearly as freaky as the fact that one bite from a rabid animal is lethal and theres no way for you to survive, thats scarier, the thing would jump you while you slept. And there goes your life, just cuz u decided u wanted a cat who could easily go outside and some fox happened to get rabies nearby, scary thoughts.
@@Crow23346 Shots for rabies bites exist. It isn't necessarily lethal for a human that's been bitten, but the shots themselves are a very painful process to go through. Edit: "Not necessarily lethal" means there are circumstances in which rabies is not lethal to humans. Yes, it can still be lethal, but in many cases it is not. Under the right circumstances, including seeking medical treatment (for those with access to healthcare) immediately after exposure, then rabies is survivable. I'm not responding to any further comments about this because I've already been in many discussions with others in this thread. Therefore my reply notifications will be silenced. Stay well everyone. 👍
The way it stops licking and just stares, is so chilling, looks like a zombies eyes from any movie, where the character switches before your eyes, just nothing behind them
@@nikninja2233 Go watch it once u got time to sit and watch a movie. It's freaky af tho. Like zombies flat out sprinting to u and they don't get tired...
@@user-account-not-found bullshit. Coyotes are wonderful animals. Sometimes they can be pitiful- starving & covered in mange. I’ve never seen a coyote I needed to be afraid of. I hiked & lived in Hollywood hills & saw them daily. Curious, timid, scared little animals for the most part. Wouldn’t leave my car around them but your characterization makes me believe you’ve never really been around them lol
Though this sounds mean, I can only say one thing: shoot it. It does have rabies. Shoot it, report it, then thoroughly clean the window if you have pets around because it can be transferred through saliva. Yes I know this is two years old, but everyone needs to hear it. Eradication and report is the best way to minimize spreading and further pain to other animals.
@@mypups7626 You do realize there is no cure or treatment for rabies right? By giving it to any department, you're just longing it's agony and by doing this you're giving the virus a chance to spread. So the best way is to kill it, it's more like mercy killing so that it doesn't transfer that infection onto an other animal or human...
Yep. If you’re capable of being a good shot- I’d go round the side of it while it’s obsessed with the door & put it out of its misery then call authorities
My wife and I were driving a friend home one summer evening after dinner at our house. We pulled into her driveway and she was about to get out of the car when we all saw a raccoon behaving bizarrely on her front lawn. It was stumbling around, falling over and twitching, then getting up, stumbling around some more, and falling over again, etc. We called 911 and shortly afterward, a police cruiser pulled up. One officer wanted to catch the raccoon by hand, until I rolled down my window and said to him, “I don’t think that’s a very good idea….looks like that thing is rabid.” He retreated to his car and I guess called for backup, because a short while after that, a police van pulled up and another officer armed with a rifle got out and shot the raccoon. Our friend said she was glad she hadn’t left her dog tied up outside when she came to visit us that evening. BTW this happened in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
On another occasion, early one spring, I saw a red fox standing in a Tim Horton’s parking lot in broad daylight. This was also in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. I thought it looked scrawny, bedraggled and out of sorts, and also thought it odd that it should be out in the daytime. Other people were also observing it from their cars, but thankfully no one was getting out to approach it. This time I didn’t make any phone calls; I just got the hell out of there.
It's upsetting to see animals with rabies but it's good to look for signs of it to keep yourself and especially pets safe. It's like looking at a Cerberus hound from Resident Evil. It's scary and sad at the same time to see an animal lose its mind and act in such a strange and unsettling way.
@@damonrichardson1999 Seared into your memory too, I see. That (for me a first) jump-scare and the robot lady in Superman 3 left me traumatised as a kid.
As someone from the Netherlands, I am so glad we don't have a lot of rabies here. A lot of people don't even know what it is, but when I went to Spain and saw a dog acting weird and biting things, I was definitely on high alert.
I've never seen an animal with rabies here, I don't think it is usual, and I've never seen stray dogs, there probably are some in big cities like Barcelona with all its delinquency, so between all the drug addicts and gangs in some places there would probably be sickly stray animals. On my town the most I've seen is stray cats that usually live in a group in a certain place. In the villages pets usually go around free, but villages are pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so idk how easy would be for rabies to get there . Edit: Ok I just looked it up and we've been free from rabies since 1978 on terrestrial carnivores, so that dog was probably just kinda quirky or stressed. However some bats have presented rabies in Valencia after that, but as far as it is knows not dogs, and the vulpine variant never crossed the pyrenees even though we have foxes here. The present cases in other animals aside from bats are mostlt from Ceuta and Melilla, two cities of Spain in Africa, and it comes from Morocco.
As someone from Spain, I haven't seen a rabid animal in all my life. Anyway, if it had bitten you, you'd be lucky to be in Spain and not in Holland. Our public health is of good quality.
that stare... this is ladys and gentlemen, closest thing to real life zombie\possession, yep, wild animals are savage and ruthless, they driven by their instincts, but yet, their eyes nothing like this even in the moments of attack\killing another animal or even humans, they can be scary and crazed - but not that empty and uncanny, whoever this fox was before is gone - only animation with twisted mindset left, i wonder, if soul thing is real thing to all living creatures, is it gone too already? even before death?
I was a CBRN Specialist in the Army and dealt with all types of chem, bio rad and nuke scenarios but always my biggest fear was a weaponised form of rabies. The virus is so amazing in the way it makes it’s victims salivate it’s contagion and the aggressiveness the victim of it has, the programming of pain and agitation to compel its victims to attack and spread the virus. I’ve seen many humans who were infected and the 99.9+ fatality rate should scare anyone of the possible mutations or weaponisation of this most terrifying virus.
Shamtastic. by the way, part of that virus was included in the vax. One day, they give the signal, and a situation like the movie "cell" will happen. Its zombie time....
This is so terrifying yet so heartbreaking at the same time. What Rabies does to the brain is horrible. I can't even imagine how it must've made him feel. I think it's always best to notify your local wildlife centre if you encounter a rabid individual. You'd be saving so many other wildlife, pets, and people from such torment. All it takes is one bite. You don't want a stray kitty getting infected and then infecting companion cats, dogs, or their people. Keep your environment, your pets, and yourselves safe.
@@thisperson2963 Just like Stray dogs and another wildlife. It's called circle of life. There's nothing unnatural about it. Animals kill eachother all over the world
@@weaponsofwarfare9537 yes circle of life but the domestic cat shouldn’t be let out the house because and it’s proven they’re the perfect killers and enough of them can and have cause bird species to disappear
I saw a rabid raccoon at my neighbors a couple months ago. Terrifying for sure, but I mostly felt so sad for it. Such a beautiful animal and it was just in Hell. Called animal control and brought my dog inside. Just heartbreaking.
@@peterhandscomb8409 Canadian here, most of us that don't live with a Starbucks inside spitting distance own lots of em. Helps when your apex predator isn't the size of a drummed up housecat.
A lil over 10 years ago two of my friends were bear hunting with hounds when out of nowhere a bobcat jumped inside their truck and started biting and scratching them. The passenger was able to open his door and threw the cat down while simultaneously he put his foot on his neck to hold him long enough to dispatch the bobcat. After DNR was called the cat was sent to be checked for rabies and my friends had to go immediately to a nearby hospital to get the wounds cleaned and also they were started on the rabies vaccine. The next day they found out it was rabid.
Hard to tell since the most well identifiable trait of rabies is the foaming of the mouth. But none the less it’s best to assume the worst and stay safe. One thing is for certain and that’s there’s something definitely wrong with it since foxes are usually very shy animals; the whole biting of the window along with the clouded eyes raises serious concerns. Hopefully it passed away swiftly.
Moron, the foaming of the mouth is fucking myth, that only happen when animals or humans have a very serious dehydration because the lack of water make saliva more viscous with enzymes.
They can act aggressively and show signs of "neurological impairment" ranging from "vocalization, circling and paralysis," health services says on its website. Rabid animals also will appear "drunk" and have difficulty walking. Seizures.
Not sure if this is rabies or just a fox enamored with encountering a glass window for the first time. I say that as I did see a video with a fox with rabies. It kept throwing it's head far back, like it was trying to get its tongue to touch it's back, without turning its head. It was having seizures and frothing at the mouth and was just...sad. One of the guys filming it eventually said, "I'll go get my gun." That's pretty much all you can do at that point, put it out of its misery. Then again, maybe that was late-stage rabies and this is early stage, but this one seemed in its right mind enough to scratch at the door just like a dog would and just didn't understand the concept of a glass door.
I was a little boy when I found out about rabies. Apparently there was a child in the news that got bit by a rabid raccoon that broke into their house. For a long time after I would have sleepless nights and scary dreams. One recurring dream was a rabid fox in my yard who grabbed me and my family couldn't save me. Long story short, this video just made me realize that I need therapy.
Yeah, rabid animals are way to stupid to break into your home. If one is inside your home then obliviously somebody else let them inside and that just means that you have enemies living with you
@@youtubestudiosucks978 That's a little dismissive, don't you think? It's certainly rare, but animals CAN break in and find their way into a house; the symptom is encroaching madness, not typical stupidity.
I'm glad I live in an Island nation with no rabies. I was a kid who grew up in the outdoors and got bit multiple times by animals. Usually I just cleaned it, bandaged and went about my day. I only became aware about rabies a few years ago. If I'm ever on an overseas trip and get bitten by an animal - I at least know that there are additional steps to take!!
The probability of a raccoon randomly breaking into your window (in its rabid induced seizure) and biting you is rare. Besides there are fate worse then death and you should die honorably child.
Let's just be glad that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is a research hub for Coronavirus's and not rabies. If they was working with gain of function testing with strains of rabies, we'd probably have something that looks more like 28 days later than covid.
So, that's what rabies looks like... terrifying. It really does remind me of a zombie, the blank pale eyes & brainlessly trying to chew on a flat door panel.
That's actually not what a rabid animal looks like. A fabit animal would be salvating heavily, and would have shown signs of agression or spacial unawareness. This is more akin to a kid pressing their face up against the glass and making funny faces
@@onlyoddity Rabies can work in a sequence... First the animal seems perfectly healthy, then they're acting unusual to the point one clueless by-passer might step too close, then the animal gets agitated and aggressive and starts randomly running at and attacking things.
That's just the begining it will start to foam at the mouth and just spin on circle for hours and bite anything it sees but they only last a like seven days before they die I think. It's a terrible way to die
If you're really morbidly curious, there's also this video detailing and showing a case of the disease in a human being: th-cam.com/video/-moG6JDmJdc/w-d-xo.html It reminds me of this line in the Odyssey describing the torments of Hades. "I saw Tantalus in agonising torment, in a pool of water reaching to his chin. He was tortured by thirst, but could not drink, since every time he stooped eagerly the water was swallowed up and vanished..."
With Rabies, you literally are. The infected becomes merely an agent of the virus whose only remaining purpose is to bite and infect the next one. Its the scariest pathogen on our planet and its not even close.
it is possessd not a demon though a virus that takes over its nervous system. makes the salival glands overproduce saliva and forces the host to fear the sight of water so it can spread more easier.
When the virus first enters the brain, it causes varoius behavioural changes that help it to spread. It then spreads down to the saliva glands, where it causes excessive production of saliva - infected with the virus. It also causes a fear of water and a reflex action that causes the throat to close if the host attempts to drink. This prevents dilution of the virus. The virus has control of the brain, just before the brain is completely destroyed. It is a nightmare of a disease where the simplest organism of all (not even life really) gains control of the most complex object in the known universe.
That’s the one thing they never told us growing up and all representation of rabid animals in film/tv show an aggressive animal foaming at the mouth. Can that happen? Yes, but most rabid animals just appear drunk, zombie like and or neurologically impaired. They develop a fear of water and won’t drink it creating foam around the sides of their mouth. It’s more frightening neurologically than anything else.
Rabies is such a terrifying disease. My friends child died to it. He found a bat on the ground and picked it up and didn’t tell his mom it bit him. They didn’t find out it was rabies until it was too late. Stay safe guys.
That’s so sad and scary. Always tell your kids not to play with animals and if one does bite you tell them to tell you immediately. Be blunt about it and everything, I’m obviously not saying this to you but to anyone reading this. Scare them into wanting to tell you if something like that happened. That is so tragic I hope it wasn’t a horrible death :(
It's chills me to no end to see nothing in an animal's eyes. Because their eyes are usually so expressive and full of life. Here there is nothing. Edit: I rescue slaughter horses and starving and sick dogs. I know what a sick animal looks like, it's just sad.
Rabies is literally so scary in real life but I feel like it's one of those fears that are kind of normalized by media. Like you see it as a common disease in cartoons and movies and shit so it kinda desensitizes people to the actual danger of it in real life. Once you get it, that's pretty much GG for you, almost a 100% mortality rate for anything that shows symptoms. Some real life zombie shit.
There’s a shot for it, just get to the doc in a timely manner. It can sit in your body for years before you show symptoms or a couple days. It’s a weird disease for sure.
Very sad to see this poor criteria suffering. I live in a suburban area not heavily wooded but have seen a fox- or maybe different one - many times over the last several years. Usually at night security cameras pick it up. Last week it has been around often even in early morning daylight. Even laying curled up out in the open back yard. I just assume it knows there are rabbits around. I was surprised to see it jump over the fence.
Rabies is probably one of the absolute worst and slowest ways to die. I wish we'd do more in the US to eradicate it from wildlife populations via oral vaccines
@@SharKwORDT95 rabies can be vaccinated against. If you've ever been bitten by a rabid animal, you'd know that's the way to prevent symptoms from showing up.
@@SharKwORDT95 You can be vaccinated before getting rabies. If you've ever owned a cat or dog, you get them vaccinated initially every year but most states in the U.S. have now extended it to about every two or three years. I was bitten by a stray puppy as a child and for safety, was taken to a hospital to receive a vaccine in case the puppy was rabid. You don't wait until you have a disease to begin vaccinating against it, you get a vaccine to avoid catching it or to make its symptoms less severe if you do. So, as such, you can vaccinate the wildlife to help avoid them from catching rabies. There are countries that are considered to be rabies-free due to this and bringing pets in from other countries that are not rabies-free can be very difficult.
Beware the Lily of the Valley ok, I see what you mean, but the places considered rabies free are islands that are a fraction of the U.S. as a whole. Vaccination of wildlife at a level to eradicate rabies completely is not feasible because of how it spreads. Once it infects an animal for too long that’s not something that can be undone, and it becomes a walking conduit of rabies. Especially with the variety of animals that can transmit it on the continent. We’ll have an easier time eradicating mosquitoes with that genetically altered strain that can’t reproduce. It’s like a zombie virus only instead of being hyper aggressive the animal suffers seizures and gets the animal equivalent of dementia.
@@VeneficaDelirium oh sorry hope i didn't assume your gender in an offensive way (I'm serious), because I am a male, don't let the name distract you. :P
Oh Lord! That is totally heartbreaking. Can’t imagine how much this poor thing is suffering. Rabies is extremely painful. I hope somebody has done something!
Sadly all you can do at that stage is euthanise from a distance (shoot) since they are dangerous and unpredictable, not to mention a threat to human life. Even for humans once the symptoms begin to appear months after exposure it’s probs too late, you must have the vaccine instantly as soon as possible after contact.
@@pangrowlin3599 for the safety of others and since they aren’t in their right minds they would be thanking you if you ended their suffering. These poor animals.
Once the animal is symptomatic from rabies, the only option is to end its suffering .There is no way to treat/cure rabies once it reaches this stage, and attempting to do so is extremely dangerous.
Well it’s certainly dead by now, and if it wasn’t disposed of (if it had rabies) then it’s corpse and the area it was at could spread the virus too, that’s one of the many reasons rabies is terrifying.
Raven Redwake the body can only spread the virus for up to 48 hours after death, the virus survives only a couple hours after leaving the host (in this case, the saliva drying up)
I had an encounter with a rabid fox last hunting season. I saw the Fox acting strangely during the day, he was circling and walking all stiff and mewing like a cat. I shot him at about 100 yards. We left him till that night, then used a lot of safety precautions to move the carcass to a large fire we had built, and made sure the carcass was burned to ash. BTW: it takes a lot of wood and liquid fuel to burn even a small fox to ash than you might think. We also reported the incident to the local sheriffs department.
the fox by nature is a keenly aloof creature. keeps it's distance from humans most often. the very fact it's this abashed and brazen is cause for worry. it's mannerisms were unlike anything I've seen from an animal. looks to have a significant loss of bodily faculties.
If you ever get scratched, bitten, or just damaged in any way from an encounter with animals that looks as though they have rabies, immediately contact their closest medical center and get rabies vaccine shots asap. They can be cured when still in dormant state, but when the symptoms start to kick in then you should book your funeral already. Be very cautious when dealing with wild animals, and vaccinate your pets
It’s the tongue that terrifies me the most, it almost looks like it has a mind of its own and is trying to lunge at the person behind the camera. It reminds me of John carpenter’s “the thing” where the fox’s only desire is to infect and assimilate.
The eyes and the teeth are what did it for me, I can care less about the tongue, but the fact that it's doing that is creepy its self. Also, if I saw a fox start turning into "The thing" I would probably kill myself, knowing all is now lost.
Real, you can tell the virus literally wants to spread, it's beyond creepy. If a foreign enemy were to weaponize rabies on a biological level we're all screwed. People are crazy enough as it is.
@@casterakabadman805 that type of biological weapon probably does exist somewhere owned either by a military or terrorist organization. Military's have used the bubonic plague as a biological weapon since midevil times. During WW2 the Japanese were planning on using the bubonic plague against America. So saying that there is a rabies bio weapon out there isnt super suprising
Come to think of it...never heard of or seen footage of a bear with rabies. Now I'm wondering if anyone ever lived to tell the tale. 😲 ......time to take a stroll down the dark side of youtube again
It hurts me how it's lost all semblance of self-control and preservation, and only 1 singular moment of a sliver of clarity hits it as it paws the door, but returns to being a zombie just as quickly.
@@PotentSmokeKTv Yes, but the spit is super contagious and ancient Man doesn't know much about hygiene so the rabies would probably kill 'em later \_(o - o)_/
I was thinking at first that "Oh, haha, my dog does this when she wants to come inside or got herself trapped in a room, its pretty funny" until I saw it eyes. Very chilling.
If you're talking about the milky look to it when the eyes are partially/mostly closed, thats just a natural part of its eye anatomy. You see that all the time with cats
@@onlyoddity Very true. Hadn't even though of that. I just thought it was rolling its eyes back into its head. Though, I honestly can't tell if this fox had rabies or some other illness or was just feeling kooky quirky crazy that day.
@@OvrStim1 I'm absolutely sure it isn't rabies. You see no signs of agression, no foaming or excessive salvating, light sensitivity, muscle spasms, seizures, or spacial unawareness. This is more akin to having discovered an invisible forcefield and wanting to know what it is, or like a child pressing their face up against glass and making funny faces
@@onlyoddity See thats exactly what I thought. Its just curious, as foxes naturally are. I didn't see any signs and was a little worried I was missing something, so thanks for the clarification.
@@OvrStim1 no biggie. The poster of the vid wasn't sure themselves, and everyone else took it as fact just because this little guy here is acting a little strange for a fox I know what I do now about rabies because I had rescued a cat off the street a couple years ago, and when giving him a bath, I found a puss pocket possibly from a fight. My mom made an offhand comment about rabies (don't let him bite you he might have rabies) so I was paranoid for a month on that topic and looked at everything. Any possible sign. Every symptom. How long rabies can stay in a host before taking affect The poster should have still washed the glass though lmao or it'll have smudged
That was by far the creepiest thing I've watched in a while. The look in it's eyes, the fact that it seemed to understand that it was at a doorway or entrance and was on some level wanting to get in to come see you. That's some dam creepy, scared to go outside later without a weapon type sh!t. That's how it starts people, and you thought covid was bad.
Wrong! My comment wasn't supposed to get that kind of serious reaction but ok, here ya go! Rabies has been known since around 2000 BC. The first written record of rabies is in the Mesopotamian Codex of Eshnunna (circa 1930 BC), which dictates that the owner of a dog showing symptoms of rabies should take preventive measures against bites. The most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all coronaviruses is estimated to have existed as recently as 8000 BCE, although some models place the common ancestor as far back as 55 million years or more, implying long term coevolution with bat and avian species.
This unfortunately isn't very late. It probably was this way for days if it wasn't put down and out of its misery. The foaming at the mouth is the late stages because it's dehydrated and can no longer swallow. There's a lot of raccoon videos on TH-cam in the late stages. They're usually just sitting and looking up and down while opening and closing their mouth in a scary looking fashion with foam around the mouth. Very sad and scary at the same time. Here in the earlier stages they'll approach and try to bite. It's truly a zombie like state theyre in
Exactly like that’s the only way I think a zombie virus could even be crated cause humans can catch rabies too and if for some reason (probably already exists honestly) the govt experimented and created a human form of rabies that reacted a little differently than the regular virus then that…..that is probably the most terrifying thought
He's not rabid, he's just trying to let you know that he's been trying to get into contact with you about your car's extended warranty. He's worried about you
The virus hijacks the nervous system, causing sensitivity and rage in furious rabies. It causes excessive salivation, pain and paralysis of the muscles used to swallow. The fear of water is associated with this dreadful pain, and leaves rabies infected saliva all over the mouth. It's how the disease perpetuates its survival, via a newly bitten and infected victim. Universally fatal viruses have to work hard not to die out, as all the hosts succumb. This strategy is horrifying, monstrous, dreadful and sadly effective as a means of transmission.
I wonder how this virus knows how to evolve to have these effects. Making them want to bite to numb pain, be aggressive, over salivation. Its honestly a perfect recipe of evolution.
The way it just stares... I could have easily mistaken the glass licking behavior as the fox just being odd or being confused by the glass, but the staring definitely sent off alarms. Hope you ended up calling animal control or something.
@@hakimmohamad6216 Better to just call animal control and let them deal with it..they are up to date on rabies vaccines. If you go out and get bit..now you have to get rabies shots over 15days. Just keep an eye on it..call animal control.
That's because they are literally zombies. All they want is passing the virus on. The animal itself is gone and its terrifying when it gets taken over like this.
If you can tell if an animal has rabies just by looking at it then you need to use that skill with animal control. Dogs (and other canines) lick glass all the time, you can not tell if something has rabies just by looking at it.
Some of the more "realistic" zombie movies out there choose not to go the whole "reanimating the literal dead" route (which is physically impossible) and instead center their plots around a rabies-like disease which turns people into mindless, aggressive maniacs (which, while still highly improbable, is not out of the realm of possibility for a future pandemic). One look at this fox and it's easy to see where they got their inspiration.
One of my favorite iterations of zombies are the fungal zombies from the Last of Us games. There’s a kind of fungus that does something similar to ants so it’s probably one of the most realistic ways that someone could become a zombie. Edit: I like the zombies from Resident Evil as well. Res 2 remake in particular.
Could also be a super elderly fox with severe dementia. It does have a cataract. However biting and licking weird things is a classic rabies sign, too.

Hands down one of the best comments I've seen in all my years on YT.
I really hope you thoroughly cleaned that door, and took strong safety precautions when doing so. Rabies is transmitted through saliva, so that door is probably *covered* in it.
It doesn’t survive outside the body for long though.
@@stefanostokatlidis4861 i wouldnt take any chances!
Soapy water, let alone anything like lysol or bleach will kill any possible rabies germs left on that glass that somehow might not be dead from exposure.
That’s what I was thinking. If you have any type of cut or crack on your skin and it contacts that saliva you need the shots or a coffin.
@@alphax4785 By "thoroughly", I meant more "not missing a spot" than "kill it with nuclear hellfire". Cleaning it with bleach while wearing gloves to avoid accidental contact, that sorta thing. You don't wanna take any chances, with rabies. I'd probably even go so far as to get a rabies shot after doing the cleanup, but I admit I'm probably being a bit over the top there.
This is so sad. Brings back a terrifying memory of biking with my little brother in the cul de sac of our grandparents home and hearing this weird noise. We turned around and it was a Fox frothing at the mouth and running towards us. We took off biking as fast as we could towards our grandparents house but we were a little ways away. We started screaming and I remember my mom and grandparents coming out onto the porch and watching helplessly as we biked with this rabid fox on our tail. He was biting my brothers back tire, he was so close. We biked right up to the edge of the porch and dove on it while my grandfather threw a flower pot at the Fox to distract it. It attacked my brothers bike like crazy as they dragged us inside. They called fish and game and they came and shot the Fox and then said they found a whole litter of rabid Fox babies in the woods right nearby that also sadly had to be exterminated. Will never forget that! Rabies is messed up. I also encountered a rabid moose just a year or two later (thankfully was inside a K mart at the time) and it was stomping cars in the parking lot and hit its horns against the glass window of the entrance. Am I the only one with weird rabid animal stories? Lol
Why were your parents/grandparents watching “helplessly”? Were they injured or disabled or something?
Those moose are batshit crazy even when they’re not rabid too! The things you described about the moose are things that they do normally, so I couldn’t imagine seeing one do it when it was rabid!! I bet that was a CRAZY sight to see firsthand! You’re lucky that the crazy bastard didn’t manage to get inside the K-Mart you were in bc that would’ve really been a shit show!😂
As a kid I was always scared of coming across a rabid fox. Thank god rabis got almost exterminated in Europe
No, I grew up on a farm...when I was 9 I was riding my pony along our usual trail. Out of nowhere a fox came charging out of the woods. It chased us the whole way home. We galloped as fast as my little pony could to the barn, but it was still on us. We just kept going and I kept screaming for help. Finally, after riding past the kitchen window and screaming. My uncle came outside with a gun. He was able to distract the tired fox and shoot it. Thank goodness my pony didn't throw me or tire out before that crazy fox.

"Front facing fox isn't real it can't hurt you"
I think this is the first time I’ve ever been thoroughly unnerved by a fox instead of delighted by their silliness
I remember when i was younger, before i could drive, i had to do a bit of walking getting around and being where i was... it meant some long dark streets with no lights and no houses, barely any cars went by.
I told people that it made me nervous, and they'd say I'm ridiculous there's nothing there at night that isn't there during the day. It wasn't the animals that concerned me though, it was the possibility of rabies.
And actually, i have experienced a few rabid animals throughout my life. The first time i was really young, i was playing out in this field next to my house when i noticed this racoon came walking over towards me looking a little staggered and confused. I knew that it meant keep away and tell someone so i did. And it did turn out to be rabid when they tested it.
Fortunately it's been dumb rabied each time, because a friend of mine said he was out in these woods, when an aggressive rabid racoon came at him. He said he went up on this big rock out there and waited for someone to hear him. Whole time this thing was falling over snarling at him having seizures, it definitely makes you aware of careful you need to be.
And growing up in the 80s i didn't even understand just exactly how deadly it was. I was mostly afraid of getting a bunch of shots in the stomach and being sick. It's much more severe than just 'sick'. And the treatment is easier today, it's really the cost of the medicine that hurts now.
Rabies is a horrible and terrifying disease. It's 100% fatal, and it's AGONIZINGLY painful. You're dying of thirst, but water is excruciatingly painful and you can't drink it. You're wracked by a high fever, your whole body hurts like you're being electrocuted. That's why animals bite things and behave aggressively. Humans do the exact same thing when infected. It's so cruel. Get your animals vaccinated.
Out of character is serious
Well, their nervous system and brains are literally melting if rabies positive so you'd be rightfully unnerved.
I know.. usually I love them. I feel bad for this poor guy though..

Sure he stares kinda like a fox would but the eyes are far too gone to look even remotely similar to what they normally would, like a zombie in those zombie movies they stare pretty much the same.
I have rabies immunity, and donate plasma twice a week that gets used to make rabies treatment. The money is nice, but my biggest fear has always been madness, so I'm grateful I can help save others from such a twisted and cruel fate, even if it's indirectly.
How did you figure out that you have rabies immunity?
@@adolphaselrah9506probably tests. Or it got discovered when they were testing his blood for rabies immunity, if they do that, that is.
So you're the only person in the whole world who survived rabies? Because as far as I'm aware there has only been 1 individual ever to survive and recover from it. You're telling me that's you? I find that hard to believe.
@@hercules_144person who has been cured ≠ immunity. People can be born with immunity for rabies, it’s rare but they exist.
I call bullshit for the sake of farming likes
There is only one person who ever survived rabies due to a immunity without medical treatment.
So how would you know??? This is not something doctors scan for
Also what would that blood donation even do??? It cannot cure the disease and for prevention there is a vaccine
I suddenly thought of a more terrifying thing: what if this house had a cat flap? Imagine what you might turn your bedside lamp on to see at 2am...
I'm buzzing right now so it made it even more freaky and terrifying!
The idea of seeing it in your house and it looking scary isnt nearly as freaky as the fact that one bite from a rabid animal is lethal and theres no way for you to survive, thats scarier, the thing would jump you while you slept. And there goes your life, just cuz u decided u wanted a cat who could easily go outside and some fox happened to get rabies nearby, scary thoughts.
@@Crow23346 Shots for rabies bites exist. It isn't necessarily lethal for a human that's been bitten, but the shots themselves are a very painful process to go through.
Edit: "Not necessarily lethal" means there are circumstances in which rabies is not lethal to humans. Yes, it can still be lethal, but in many cases it is not. Under the right circumstances, including seeking medical treatment (for those with access to healthcare) immediately after exposure, then rabies is survivable. I'm not responding to any further comments about this because I've already been in many discussions with others in this thread. Therefore my reply notifications will be silenced. Stay well everyone. 👍
A single dose vaccine for rabies has been available for decades now.

Though this sounds mean, I can only say one thing: shoot it. It does have rabies. Shoot it, report it, then thoroughly clean the window if you have pets around because it can be transferred through saliva. Yes I know this is two years old, but everyone needs to hear it. Eradication and report is the best way to minimize spreading and further pain to other animals.
@@mypups7626 You do realize there is no cure or treatment for rabies right? By giving it to any department, you're just longing it's agony and by doing this you're giving the virus a chance to spread.

My wife and I were driving a friend home one summer evening after dinner at our house. We pulled into her driveway and she was about to get out of the car when we all saw a raccoon behaving bizarrely on her front lawn. It was stumbling around, falling over and twitching, then getting up, stumbling around some more, and falling over again, etc. We called 911 and shortly afterward, a police cruiser pulled up. One officer wanted to catch the raccoon by hand, until I rolled down my window and said to him, “I don’t think that’s a very good idea….looks like that thing is rabid.” He retreated to his car and I guess called for backup, because a short while after that, a police van pulled up and another officer armed with a rifle got out and shot the raccoon. Our friend said she was glad she hadn’t left her dog tied up outside when she came to visit us that evening. BTW this happened in Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
On another occasion, early one spring, I saw a red fox standing in a Tim Horton’s parking lot in broad daylight. This was also in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. I thought it looked scrawny, bedraggled and out of sorts, and also thought it odd that it should be out in the daytime. Other people were also observing it from their cars, but thankfully no one was getting out to approach it. This time I didn’t make any phone calls; I just got the hell out of there.
It's upsetting to see animals with rabies but it's good to look for signs of it to keep yourself and especially pets safe. It's like looking at a Cerberus hound from Resident Evil. It's scary and sad at the same time to see an animal lose its mind and act in such a strange and unsettling way.

As someone from the Netherlands, I am so glad we don't have a lot of rabies here. A lot of people don't even know what it is, but when I went to Spain and saw a dog acting weird and biting things, I was definitely on high alert.
I've never seen an animal with rabies here, I don't think it is usual, and I've never seen stray dogs, there probably are some in big cities like Barcelona with all its delinquency, so between all the drug addicts and gangs in some places there would probably be sickly stray animals. On my town the most I've seen is stray cats that usually live in a group in a certain place. In the villages pets usually go around free, but villages are pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so idk how easy would be for rabies to get there .
Edit: Ok I just looked it up and we've been free from rabies since 1978 on terrestrial carnivores, so that dog was probably just kinda quirky or stressed. However some bats have presented rabies in Valencia after that, but as far as it is knows not dogs, and the vulpine variant never crossed the pyrenees even though we have foxes here. The present cases in other animals aside from bats are mostlt from Ceuta and Melilla, two cities of Spain in Africa, and it comes from Morocco.
@@unlimon6382 Interesting. Thanks for looking it up. It was actually on Mallorca, so technically Spain but an island of Spain.
weird flex but ok
@@anonymlulz8273 I mean, I didn't remove rabies from the Netherlands. So I'm not flexing
As someone from Spain, I haven't seen a rabid animal in all my life.
Anyway, if it had bitten you, you'd be lucky to be in Spain and not in Holland. Our public health is of good quality.
that stare... this is ladys and gentlemen, closest thing to real life zombie\possession,
yep, wild animals are savage and ruthless, they driven by their instincts, but yet, their eyes nothing like this even in the moments of attack\killing another animal or even humans,
they can be scary and crazed - but not that empty and uncanny,
whoever this fox was before is gone - only animation with twisted mindset left, i wonder, if soul thing is real thing to all living creatures, is it gone too already? even before death?
I was a CBRN Specialist in the Army and dealt with all types of chem, bio rad and nuke scenarios but always my biggest fear was a weaponised form of rabies. The virus is so amazing in the way it makes it’s victims salivate it’s contagion and the aggressiveness the victim of it has, the programming of pain and agitation to compel its victims to attack and spread the virus. I’ve seen many humans who were infected and the 99.9+ fatality rate should scare anyone of the possible mutations or weaponisation of this most terrifying virus.
Zombie situation, just like in World War Z

This is so terrifying yet so heartbreaking at the same time. What Rabies does to the brain is horrible. I can't even imagine how it must've made him feel. I think it's always best to notify your local wildlife centre if you encounter a rabid individual. You'd be saving so many other wildlife, pets, and people from such torment. All it takes is one bite. You don't want a stray kitty getting infected and then infecting companion cats, dogs, or their people. Keep your environment, your pets, and yourselves safe.

A lil over 10 years ago two of my friends were bear hunting with hounds when out of nowhere a bobcat jumped inside their truck and started biting and scratching them. The passenger was able to open his door and threw the cat down while simultaneously he put his foot on his neck to hold him long enough to dispatch the bobcat. After DNR was called the cat was sent to be checked for rabies and my friends had to go immediately to a nearby hospital to get the wounds cleaned and also they were started on the rabies vaccine. The next day they found out it was rabid.

Hard to tell since the most well identifiable trait of rabies is the foaming of the mouth. But none the less it’s best to assume the worst and stay safe. One thing is for certain and that’s there’s something definitely wrong with it since foxes are usually very shy animals; the whole biting of the window along with the clouded eyes raises serious concerns. Hopefully it passed away swiftly.
If it has rabies it definitely didn't pass swift or peaceful.

@@Nemesislord001 hopefully they shot it. I would, not just for my safety but because no animal deserves to suffer rabies.
Moron, the foaming of the mouth is fucking myth, that only happen when animals or humans have a very serious dehydration because the lack of water make saliva more viscous with enzymes.

@@movingforward2570 you sound stupid.
@@movingforward2570 sorry but this is a fox, with rabies. Rabies iirc affects the brain.
Not sure if this is rabies or just a fox enamored with encountering a glass window for the first time. I say that as I did see a video with a fox with rabies. It kept throwing it's head far back, like it was trying to get its tongue to touch it's back, without turning its head. It was having seizures and frothing at the mouth and was just...sad. One of the guys filming it eventually said, "I'll go get my gun." That's pretty much all you can do at that point, put it out of its misery. Then again, maybe that was late-stage rabies and this is early stage, but this one seemed in its right mind enough to scratch at the door just like a dog would and just didn't understand the concept of a glass door.
I was a little boy when I found out about rabies. Apparently there was a child in the news that got bit by a rabid raccoon that broke into their house. For a long time after I would have sleepless nights and scary dreams. One recurring dream was a rabid fox in my yard who grabbed me and my family couldn't save me. Long story short, this video just made me realize that I need therapy.
Maybe your childhood nightmares were a little inaccurate, but I consider your fear perfectly understandable. Especially after seeing this video.
Yeah, rabid animals are way to stupid to break into your home.
If one is inside your home then obliviously somebody else let them inside and that just means that you have enemies living with you
@@youtubestudiosucks978 That's a little dismissive, don't you think? It's certainly rare, but animals CAN break in and find their way into a house; the symptom is encroaching madness, not typical stupidity.
I'm glad I live in an Island nation with no rabies.
I was a kid who grew up in the outdoors and got bit multiple times by animals. Usually I just cleaned it, bandaged and went about my day.
I only became aware about rabies a few years ago. If I'm ever on an overseas trip and get bitten by an animal - I at least know that there are additional steps to take!!
The probability of a raccoon randomly breaking into your window (in its rabid induced seizure) and biting you is rare.

Ever see the movie quarantine?
Let's just be glad that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is a research hub for Coronavirus's and not rabies. If they was working with gain of function testing with strains of rabies, we'd probably have something that looks more like 28 days later than covid.
That's one of the reasons why over the last 10 years its believed that the zombie virus will be a mutated stran of rabies.
So, that's what rabies looks like... terrifying. It really does remind me of a zombie, the blank pale eyes & brainlessly trying to chew on a flat door panel.
That's actually not what a rabid animal looks like. A fabit animal would be salvating heavily, and would have shown signs of agression or spacial unawareness. This is more akin to a kid pressing their face up against the glass and making funny faces
@@onlyoddity Rabies can work in a sequence... First the animal seems perfectly healthy, then they're acting unusual to the point one clueless by-passer might step too close, then the animal gets agitated and aggressive and starts randomly running at and attacking things.
This is early in the disease process. The animal will start salivating heavily and acting drunk soon after
That's just the begining it will start to foam at the mouth and just spin on circle for hours and bite anything it sees but they only last a like seven days before they die I think. It's a terrible way to die
If you're really morbidly curious, there's also this video detailing and showing a case of the disease in a human being: th-cam.com/video/-moG6JDmJdc/w-d-xo.html
It reminds me of this line in the Odyssey describing the torments of Hades. "I saw Tantalus in agonising torment, in a pool of water reaching to his chin. He was tortured by thirst, but could not drink, since every time he stooped eagerly the water was swallowed up and vanished..."
THAT is SO effed up on every level!!! That's all can say after looking at THAT!
The it looks straight at the camera legitimately instills fear in my heart
That thing seriously looks possessed. Freaky.
With Rabies, you literally are. The infected becomes merely an agent of the virus whose only remaining purpose is to bite and infect the next one. Its the scariest pathogen on our planet and its not even close.
it is possessd not a demon though a virus that takes over its nervous system. makes the salival glands overproduce saliva and forces the host to fear the sight of water so it can spread more easier.
When the virus first enters the brain, it causes varoius behavioural changes that help it to spread. It then spreads down to the saliva glands, where it causes excessive production of saliva - infected with the virus.
It also causes a fear of water and a reflex action that causes the throat to close if the host attempts to drink. This prevents dilution of the virus.
The virus has control of the brain, just before the brain is completely destroyed.
It is a nightmare of a disease where the simplest organism of all (not even life really) gains control of the most complex object in the known universe.

Rabies is literally so scary in real life but I feel like it's one of those fears that are kind of normalized by media. Like you see it as a common disease in cartoons and movies and shit so it kinda desensitizes people to the actual danger of it in real life. Once you get it, that's pretty much GG for you, almost a 100% mortality rate for anything that shows symptoms. Some real life zombie shit.
plus its very rare to see this too which is a good thing
There’s a shot for it, just get to the doc in a timely manner. It can sit in your body for years before you show symptoms or a couple days. It’s a weird disease for sure.
If you are bitten you can get a rabies shot within 24hrs. Once symptoms start, there is no cure. It is a very slow and painful death.
The Milwaukee Protocol has enabled people to survive full-blown rabies. Not easy, but certainly possible to survive rabies now.
@@rjmeteor3720 Like someone decides when you are gonna die
That is literally death looking at you through that glass. Death that wants to come in and take you with it.
So cute 😍
No so cute when it bites you and now you've been infected with an incurable disease
Uhm no? The fella is suffering
Very sad to see this poor criteria suffering. I live in a suburban area not heavily wooded but have seen a fox- or maybe different one - many times over the last several years. Usually at night security cameras pick it up. Last week it has been around often even in early morning daylight. Even laying curled up out in the open back yard. I just assume it knows there are rabbits around. I was surprised to see it jump over the fence.
Rabies is probably one of the absolute worst and slowest ways to die. I wish we'd do more in the US to eradicate it from wildlife populations via oral vaccines
That’s not really how rabies works.
@@SharKwORDT95 rabies can be vaccinated against. If you've ever been bitten by a rabid animal, you'd know that's the way to prevent symptoms from showing up.
mememan you take it after you’re infected, right? What wild animal goes off to get vaccinated? Wild animals are the primary vectors of the virus.
@@SharKwORDT95 You can be vaccinated before getting rabies. If you've ever owned a cat or dog, you get them vaccinated initially every year but most states in the U.S. have now extended it to about every two or three years. I was bitten by a stray puppy as a child and for safety, was taken to a hospital to receive a vaccine in case the puppy was rabid. You don't wait until you have a disease to begin vaccinating against it, you get a vaccine to avoid catching it or to make its symptoms less severe if you do.
So, as such, you can vaccinate the wildlife to help avoid them from catching rabies. There are countries that are considered to be rabies-free due to this and bringing pets in from other countries that are not rabies-free can be very difficult.
Beware the Lily of the Valley ok, I see what you mean, but the places considered rabies free are islands that are a fraction of the U.S. as a whole. Vaccination of wildlife at a level to eradicate rabies completely is not feasible because of how it spreads. Once it infects an animal for too long that’s not something that can be undone, and it becomes a walking conduit of rabies. Especially with the variety of animals that can transmit it on the continent. We’ll have an easier time eradicating mosquitoes with that genetically altered strain that can’t reproduce. It’s like a zombie virus only instead of being hyper aggressive the animal suffers seizures and gets the animal equivalent of dementia.

Oh Lord! That is totally heartbreaking. Can’t imagine how much this poor thing is suffering. Rabies is extremely painful. I hope somebody has done something!
Sadly all you can do at that stage is euthanise from a distance (shoot) since they are dangerous and unpredictable, not to mention a threat to human life. Even for humans once the symptoms begin to appear months after exposure it’s probs too late, you must have the vaccine instantly as soon as possible after contact.
@@pangrowlin3599 for the safety of others and since they aren’t in their right minds they would be thanking you if you ended their suffering. These poor animals.
Once the animal is symptomatic from rabies, the only option is to end its suffering .There is no way to treat/cure rabies once it reaches this stage, and attempting to do so is extremely dangerous.
Well it’s certainly dead by now, and if it wasn’t disposed of (if it had rabies) then it’s corpse and the area it was at could spread the virus too, that’s one of the many reasons rabies is terrifying.
Raven Redwake the body can only spread the virus for up to 48 hours after death, the virus survives only a couple hours after leaving the host (in this case, the saliva drying up)
I had an encounter with a rabid fox last hunting season. I saw the Fox acting strangely during the day, he was circling and walking all stiff and mewing like a cat.
I shot him at about 100 yards. We left him till that night, then used a lot of safety precautions to move the carcass to a large fire we had built, and made sure the carcass was burned to ash.
BTW: it takes a lot of wood and liquid fuel to burn even a small fox to ash than you might think.
We also reported the incident to the local sheriffs department.
Glad that you ended the poor animals suffering
Good on you guys!
Good on you, this is so horrifying. Zombies basically.
that was amazingly careful and thorough
Setting good examples! 👍
the fox by nature is a keenly aloof creature. keeps it's distance from humans most often. the very fact it's this abashed and brazen is cause for worry. it's mannerisms were unlike anything I've seen from an animal. looks to have a significant loss of bodily faculties.
If you ever get scratched, bitten, or just damaged in any way from an encounter with animals that looks as though they have rabies, immediately contact their closest medical center and get rabies vaccine shots asap. They can be cured when still in dormant state, but when the symptoms start to kick in then you should book your funeral already. Be very cautious when dealing with wild animals, and vaccinate your pets
Good things rabies doesn't really exist in my city. I think only place where they have found rabies in bats was at russian border (surprise)
It’s the tongue that terrifies me the most, it almost looks like it has a mind of its own and is trying to lunge at the person behind the camera. It reminds me of John carpenter’s “the thing” where the fox’s only desire is to infect and assimilate.
The eyes and the teeth are what did it for me, I can care less about the tongue, but the fact that it's doing that is creepy its self.
Also, if I saw a fox start turning into "The thing" I would probably kill myself, knowing all is now lost.
Real, you can tell the virus literally wants to spread, it's beyond creepy. If a foreign enemy were to weaponize rabies on a biological level we're all screwed. People are crazy enough as it is.
@@casterakabadman805 that type of biological weapon probably does exist somewhere owned either by a military or terrorist organization. Military's have used the bubonic plague as a biological weapon since midevil times. During WW2 the Japanese were planning on using the bubonic plague against America. So saying that there is a rabies bio weapon out there isnt super suprising
@@heavybooom7790 facts 💯
Yo same, my mind instantly went to The Thing when I saw that tongue
Imagine a 1000 pound grizzly with rabies doing this at your door? Absolute nightmare fuel.
Omg
It would be like never having had a door in the first place.
If this was a grizzly there would be no door
What door?
Come to think of it...never heard of or seen footage of a bear with rabies. Now I'm wondering if anyone ever lived to tell the tale. 😲
......time to take a stroll down the dark side of youtube again
I swear to God this is nightmare fuel straight from horror movies.
This looks like a scene from a horror movie. Sends shivers down my spine.
It hurts me how it's lost all semblance of self-control and preservation, and only 1 singular moment of a sliver of clarity hits it as it paws the door, but returns to being a zombie just as quickly.

"This fox is already dead, it just doesn't know it! 🎅🎅🎅🐡"
I was thinking at first that "Oh, haha, my dog does this when she wants to come inside or got herself trapped in a room, its pretty funny" until I saw it eyes. Very chilling.
If you're talking about the milky look to it when the eyes are partially/mostly closed, thats just a natural part of its eye anatomy. You see that all the time with cats
@@onlyoddity Very true. Hadn't even though of that. I just thought it was rolling its eyes back into its head. Though, I honestly can't tell if this fox had rabies or some other illness or was just feeling kooky quirky crazy that day.
@@OvrStim1 I'm absolutely sure it isn't rabies. You see no signs of agression, no foaming or excessive salvating, light sensitivity, muscle spasms, seizures, or spacial unawareness. This is more akin to having discovered an invisible forcefield and wanting to know what it is, or like a child pressing their face up against glass and making funny faces
@@onlyoddity See thats exactly what I thought. Its just curious, as foxes naturally are. I didn't see any signs and was a little worried I was missing something, so thanks for the clarification.
@@OvrStim1 no biggie. The poster of the vid wasn't sure themselves, and everyone else took it as fact just because this little guy here is acting a little strange for a fox
I know what I do now about rabies because I had rescued a cat off the street a couple years ago, and when giving him a bath, I found a puss pocket possibly from a fight. My mom made an offhand comment about rabies (don't let him bite you he might have rabies) so I was paranoid for a month on that topic and looked at everything. Any possible sign. Every symptom. How long rabies can stay in a host before taking affect
The poster should have still washed the glass though lmao or it'll have smudged
That was by far the creepiest thing I've watched in a while. The look in it's eyes, the fact that it seemed to understand that it was at a doorway or entrance and was on some level wanting to get in to come see you. That's some dam creepy, scared to go outside later without a weapon type sh!t. That's how it starts people, and you thought covid was bad.
Word! That was creepy. It showed an uncanny humanlike thinking in the act of trying to get into the house. Ewww
That was rabies lol. Been around for a little longer than COVID
Wrong! My comment wasn't supposed to get that kind of serious reaction but ok, here ya go! Rabies has been known since around 2000 BC. The first written record of rabies is in the Mesopotamian Codex of Eshnunna (circa 1930 BC), which dictates that the owner of a dog showing symptoms of rabies should take preventive measures against bites. The most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all coronaviruses is estimated to have existed as recently as 8000 BCE, although some models place the common ancestor as far back as 55 million years or more, implying long term coevolution with bat and avian species.
Yeah I'd say....I'd be paranoid as fkkk ....
Yeah, I'll take Covid any day over this mess. I've never seen a creepier looking fox than this one! That fox wants to get in and with bad intentions.
That look it has at 0:28 is disquieting. It looks demented.

Wow! Thank you for shooting and sharing. I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen the late effects of real rabies on an animal.
This unfortunately isn't very late. It probably was this way for days if it wasn't put down and out of its misery. The foaming at the mouth is the late stages because it's dehydrated and can no longer swallow. There's a lot of raccoon videos on TH-cam in the late stages. They're usually just sitting and looking up and down while opening and closing their mouth in a scary looking fashion with foam around the mouth. Very sad and scary at the same time. Here in the earlier stages they'll approach and try to bite. It's truly a zombie like state theyre in
Oh well lucky for you, it gets worse still.
Did he shoot the fox?I didn't see that
@@MrBakedDaily shooting as in shooting a video.
@@MrBakedDaily He should have shot him. Put them out of his misery plus save other humans and or other animals and pets from being infected.
Rabies is one of the closest things I’ve seen to a zombie disease
Exactly like that’s the only way I think a zombie virus could even be crated cause humans can catch rabies too and if for some reason (probably already exists honestly) the govt experimented and created a human form of rabies that reacted a little differently than the regular virus then that…..that is probably the most terrifying thought
The wasting disease that affects deer too. Scary.

Sublime. It does remind me of that car salesman.
most underrated comment
More like "it's not rabid, it just wants to eat you."
"Get the facts, with carfax" 🦊
The virus hijacks the nervous system, causing sensitivity and rage in furious rabies. It causes excessive salivation, pain and paralysis of the muscles used to swallow. The fear of water is associated with this dreadful pain, and leaves rabies infected saliva all over the mouth. It's how the disease perpetuates its survival, via a newly bitten and infected victim.
Universally fatal viruses have to work hard not to die out, as all the hosts succumb. This strategy is horrifying, monstrous, dreadful and sadly effective as a means of transmission.
yeah dude fuck rabies that shit sucks
And some scientists dare say Viruses aren't living organisms. Everything you described about its survival are fundamental aspects of a living thing.
I wonder how this virus knows how to evolve to have these effects. Making them want to bite to numb pain, be aggressive, over salivation. Its honestly a perfect recipe of evolution.

If you can tell if an animal has rabies just by looking at it then you need to use that skill with animal control.

Some of the more "realistic" zombie movies out there choose not to go the whole "reanimating the literal dead" route (which is physically impossible) and instead center their plots around a rabies-like disease which turns people into mindless, aggressive maniacs (which, while still highly improbable, is not out of the realm of possibility for a future pandemic). One look at this fox and it's easy to see where they got their inspiration.
One of my favorite iterations of zombies are the fungal zombies from the Last of Us games. There’s a kind of fungus that does something similar to ants so it’s probably one of the most realistic ways that someone could become a zombie.
Edit: I like the zombies from Resident Evil as well. Res 2 remake in particular.
