I have heard a plenty of awful things about foxes’ behaviour: they can’t live without stealing chicken and other poultry… They are very cunning and mean… I don’t want to believe it, so it’s up to you to decide while I am ready to share with you the following facts:

  1. Foxes lead night style of life (or, forget it, they don’t have nothing in common with chicken and don’t party with them);
  2. They are capable runners (may be some of us can frighten them to death);

  3. Foxes are the smallest representatives of the dog family (and they definitely feel sorry about this circumstance);
  4. Red foxes are the most widespread species among the rest of foxes!

  5. Foxes prefer eating rodents (I mean mice, squirrels… So, chickens are just a kind of holiday feast!)
  6. Vulpes vulpes. Sounds like a four-letter word? It is a scientific name of foxes;

  7. As a rule, foxes hunt alone while using such technique as “charming”;
  8. Foxes adore storing their uneaten food (so, they are great mistresses);

    Foxes have never stolen anything from me…but then again, I live in BC, Canada where bears are our thief’s. Nonetheless, if any animal steals it’s because we are treading on their territory, they are doing what they can to survive (just like humans are). I don’t blame them one bit! They are cute. :)

    Great post!

    I personally have no any experience with foxes. I’ve only seen them in a ZOO. But I know people consider fox a very cunning and mean animal. Hence there is a saying that we use to describe a person of such a character: “as shrewd as a fox”.
    Great post!

    Foxes are the best thanks for supporting them!
    There ARE good things about them, sure you can
    hear plenty of bad things, but hey, foxes, as well
    as any other urbanized animal will steal food.

    Keep up the good work!
