Red Fox

What does a skeleton order at a restaurant?

Spare ribs!

Interesting Fact: Like a cat’s, the fox’s thick tail aids its balance, but it has other uses as well. A fox uses its tail (or “brush”) as a warm cover in cold weather and as a signal flag to communicate with other foxes. ( http://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/r/red-fox/ )

    In this photo you captured him on alert, I think. What a lovely creature. I’ve never seen one in person !! My mother and father’s hometown team were the Red Foxes … of course she was a cheerleader. Thanks for sharing. jan

    The thing that’s always fascinated me about foxes is not just their intelligence
    but an obvious sense of humor as well – the resident hounds who can
    attest to that.

    What a relief that you posted news of a fox rather than the TV version, “Faux News!” I have seen foxes here in suburban Chicago occasionally. They always catch me without my camera though! I have noticed that many of them seem really skinny. Could it be just in relation to their big, bushy tails? Foxes can be quite small creatures.

      Is that always the case, I feel your pain every time I don’t have a camera that’s when I see some animal or a bird that I don’t see when I do have the camera. Most of the foxes that I came across were really skinny as well, maybe they can find food as easy how they use to, I am not sure why. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Happy Blogging! 🙂
