    Foxes

    Lets talk about nice foxes.

    Foxes have always been in myths like the kitsune or fox-spirt or in England where the fox is a underdog,villain,operater.

    But foxes.....some people keep them as outdoor pets with the exception of Fennecs.

    As a small child, from the fairy tales I thought foxes were big evil animals, and was afraid of them. Even had nightmares. Until one day my parents took me to the zoo, where I have seen real foxes, and I was astonished to see that they are much smaller than I thought and cute From then on I wasn't having nightmares with foxes

          I've never seen a fox in my area...A shame. (Doesn't mean we don't have them, though. I dunno. I HAVE seen, however, a mountain lion! ) Cuz they're SO cute. I did see one in Missouri once when I went there to visit, though.

            In our area, foxes sometimes go to houses to find food during the night. I have seen foxes twice after midnight when we were taken home by car late.

                  Is a kit-fox a fox?

                  If so, then I have observed a fox over about 8 years. Someone enviornmentally-retarded dumped a couch in the empty feild behind where I used to live. Shortly after, a young kit-fox moved in, and it was then deemed "illegeal" to remove the couch, as it was the home of a protected species (The field still has that couch to this day).
                  This was about eight years ago, and from my old bedroom window, I could see this couch. Over this entire period, I could observe it and it's lifestyle.
                  It was really a very interesting, and If I was older and had actually realized the scientific value in this, I could have perhaps documented it's actions over this time and sold it to some animal research firm.
                  We moved a little over a year ago, but as far as I know, the kit-fox still lives there (as the couch is still there, and no construction on the field (though it was previously bought))

                    Sure a kit fox is a fox.
                    Wow, that's interesting! You could observe that fox for many years! Did it live completely alone?

                          Yes.It's a true fox.It's also Vulpes macrotis.

                          As the kit fox is sly!

                          Most foxes live alone.But it could have cubs.

                            EXACTLY!

                            Sorry, as far as I know, it was alone. There were other animals in the field (snakes, lizards, mice, wild cats), but no other kit-foxes.

                            Lol, my complex was surrounded on all four sided by:
                            N: field (with the kit fox) still a field
                            NE-E: field (with that brief time of the white fox) now duplexes
                            SE-S: field, now apartments/Darrell's mini-storage
                            W: Airport (the part with no construction) so basically a field

                            We got lots of random wildlife over the years,

                            One year, there was a white fox of some kind in the adjacent field, then it disappeared and they started construction in that feild (now it's filled with duplexes).
