July 10, 2007: Sneaking fox

Undertoad · 07-10-2007, 11:57 AM

"From Wunderground, a grey fox sneaking up on squirrels in the bird feeder," says xoB.

What. A. Beaut. And how amazing to see this beast's hinders practically operating separately from its forward half. I've seen many household cats working on outdoor prey, and it's fascinating; they prepare all their energy for the pounce, and at the last minute their pupils open wide... it's practically frightening. And I've seen household dogs getting angry, but it's nothing at all like this. Wild.

That's a beautiful creature.

He looks sly and clever at the same time.

Shawnee123 · 07-10-2007, 02:13 PM

He's quick, he's brown, and he's about to jump over the lazy dog.

@Shawnee lol.

I love foxes. I remember when I was little I read an Enid Blyton book in which one of the characters adopts a fox cub. I always, always wanted a fox for a pet after reading that :P

He is beautiful! He'd go great with my brown shoes.

JUST KIDDING!

Tasty, too.

jester · 07-10-2007, 03:38 PM

or is this a double meaning?

spudcon · 07-10-2007, 04:06 PM

I remember something about a guy wearing a fox hat...

Shawnee123 · 07-10-2007, 04:07 PM

I've eaten a few foxes in my day... sweet young things they were, too.
I prefer red to grey, but at my age, you take what you can get.

bluecuracao · 07-10-2007, 07:12 PM

Is that the pose that follows downward-facing fox?

What he really doing is limbering up before he goes hunting, so he can, instead of killing his prey amaze them with his flexibilty until they a lulled into a state of fox hypnosis, thus he can catch his prey without all the running involved
