>>4932352Curious!>>4932477Fighty?
"how big" are foxes? most images or videos of foxes you see in perspective next to people are "larger housecat/medium-small dog [not a fuckin chihuahua but not quite a golden retriever]" but then in some rarer cases you see some pretty big lookin foxes (few examples to follow), and then idk if these are real and pretty rare, or if more foxes out in the wild that aren't photographed next to something for an easy size reference are actually this size, or if this is some whole secret italian supercat thing
>>4932885another big fox
>>4932885>>4932887Fur farm breeds tend to be larger.
Foxes taste like wild strawberries
Well that's the idea yeah
>>4932908Correct. Although I suspect all tamed foxes in general (regardless of their background) are slightly larger than wild foxes, because they simply have more food.
>>4932885Foxes exist in a superpawsition where they're small and big simultaneously.
I filmed this last spring.

>>4933533Red foxes aren't small. Adults are about 2-3 ft in length that weigh around 15-30 lbs. I would not even consider a large domestic cat to be particularly small, and red foxes are larger by median. The thing about red foxes is that they have extremely sharp teeth and bite force, and that lets them cross thresholds that cats do not clear. In human culture, red foxes are notorious for being able to kill certain livestock and animals (like geese, chicken, rabbits - even instances of baby lambs and deer have been recorded). Cats aren't known to do that. In fact, outright red foxes are known to prey on young felis silvestris and felis lybica in the wild, whereas the opposite simply does not exist. The biggest predators towards (adult) red foxes are humans, because foxes are viewed as an nuisance to farmers. I think mentally people interpret foxes as being small because they are comparatively smaller than wolves and are afraid of humans. I don't think that's a completely crazy verdict, but at the same time they are still fierce predators.
>red fox>is actually orangecare to explain?
>>4934592>I'll show you why I'm called red *unsheaths*
>>4934592People in the past just simply had a better sense of prose and poetry. Orange fox sounds awkward and peculiar off the tongue. Red fox sounds distinct and natural. They are hot-red like the flicker of the flame.
>>4934694Okay but who named him Tod
There needs to be more interest in foxesThis thread should have several posts per hour
>>4934724Jannies don't like foxes getting increased interest
>>4934592European languages didn't have a word for orange until the 1500s or somethingOrange was considered a shade or red in English, sometimes called yellow-redThat's why it's called red hair too
>>4934810I doubt people in medieval times even used "red fox" at all, since there was not an urgent need to create a distinction. They probably just said fox (or whatever the local word is). I could totally be wrong, but my understanding is that biology wasn't really a serious or unitive thing until Linnaeus properly codified it. Outside of Europe, in some certain Indian and Asian languages, the word fox is also used in a literal sense for jackals and other canids. It doesn't always strictly refer to what is currently known as vulpes vulpes.
orange was probably named after the fruit
imagine being a small rodent and getting eaten by a female fox
I WILL become a fox
I am now a fox. I am currently typing this with my paws.No, I will not send pictures of myself.
