Fox

The red fox is the most widespread and abundant carnivore (meat eater) on earth… foxes will eat literally almost anything - it’s what makes them so successful… they live in small family groups but always hunt alone… they are cache- hunters, taking as many animals as they can and bury most of them for later… superb rodent killers… they seem to enjoy chewing through electrical and phone wires, and gas and water pipes… they can easily become tame (although it is not a good idea to keep them as pets)... foxes are better at catching mice than cats… they leap high and pounce vertically downward, surprising and quickly killing their prey… they are sacred to the Shinto religion… Fox possession is a recognized clinical condition in Japan. Symptoms include a craving for rice and an inability to make eye-contact… Fox is a common name for many species of omnivorous canid mammals (canids include wolves, jackals, coyotes, and dogs)... small to medium-sized long narrow snout, and a bushy tail (or brush). They are also well known for being incredibly cunning… officially, 12 species of “true” foxes, but members of another 25 species are referred to as foxes… various species are found on almost every continent. The gray fox is one of only two canine species known to climb trees; the other is the raccoon dog… males are called Reynards and females are known as vixens… (culled from “The i book of animals” and answers.com)
