I've never seen a fox outside a zoo.

Is it wrong that I keep checking this thread for more fox pictures?

I am doing the same thing

I do too! I love canines :heart:

I've seen red foxes twice IRL. I saw one small probably rather young fox running over the grass away from us when we were walking our pup once in the summer of 1985. I was very excited, and thought of it as Todd (Todd and Copper).

The second time was many years later, probably in the early 2000's. I went out on the veranda one night to fetch something, when I noticed a large (long) animal digging in the snow. I got a flashlight to get a better look. Sadly it distraught it, the fox looked up and ran away. I didn't mean to scare it off, I was just curious what animal it was

what's the difference between canines and canids? I've heard both be used.

Canidae (Canids) is the family that the genuses Canis (Canines) and Vulpes (Foxes) both belong to.

I have a funny fox related story. When my daughter was about 2-2 1/2, pretty young anyway, I left her with mum while I had to do something in the city. Mum had prepared a prank for my return.

We all love animals in our house and mum had been reading to my daughter, showing her the pictures. When I came home she said - "C**** can read! She's a genius! watch this..." she then pointed to the picture of the fox and the writing underneath and said "What does this say C****?" C**** all serious and peered at the writing and clearly said "The Fox vulpes vulpes." Delightful!

Why did you name your daughter something that the WP profanity filter would censor ? /s

This is my baby fox kit figurine. I used to have the mother fox but I had an emotional falling out with foxes a few years ago and unfortunately I rid myself of the other one. I'm surprised but glad this one was saved.

Kicks self now. :wall: :cry:
