Foxes have touched the mythology of almost every society on the planet. The fox has a long history of magik and shapeshifting.It has often been associated with the supernatural and invisible, a true creature of the night. Foxes have also been strongly associated with the faery realm, and a guardian of the between time, between dawn and dusk, light and dark.

In the world there are 21 species of fox around the world in varying climates.The most common fox in North America is the red fox, but not all red foxes have red fur. The coat of foxes serve as camoflauge, and aids foxes to remain unseen. The fox has a dual pelt, a short, dence under coat and a long, stiffer guard hairs the overlie the undercoat. This is a protection, and is usually darkest on the back. The thickness of the fur on a fox makes the fox look bigger than it really is. When the fox runs, it's tail plays an important part. The tail is held in a horizontal position from the body, acting as a rudder. This helps the fox make sharp turns with relative ease. The tail also serves as an insulator from the cold for the nose and feet when curling up for a snooze. Also in winter, thich truts of hair will grow on the toe pads to protect the foxes' feet. Foxes don't like to be wet, but are excellent swimmers. The legs of the fox are adapted to running, and the fox has an excellent stamina. Few animals of similar size can out run a fox. Foxes tend to run on their toes, sometimes very cat like. Foxes have excellent sences of hearing and can hear a mouse squeal over one hundred and fifty yards away. Foxes also have excellent eyesight, but are color blind. Their keenest sense however is their sence of smell, and foxes are facinated by unusual odors.

Foxes only have one partner and are very monogamous. The tend to live alone about five months out of the year. They are often solitary and comfortable with that. Vixens only search for a den when they are pregnant and will return to that den year after year. Foxes are born blind and deaf. An unusual hunting meathod of the fox is the 'charming' meathod, by whcih the fox destracts it's prey by 'playing'. Meanwhile the fox draws closer and closer. At the right moment the fox leaps, catching it's prey completely off guard.
