About The Clever Fox
The red fox is one of nature's most adaptable neighbors, equally at home threading through a suburban hedge as padding across a woodland trail. At dusk its amber coat catches the last light, and if you stand very still you might catch the flick of a white-tipped brush or the tilt of a curious snout. A vixen raises her kits close to the den, teaching them to rustle through the undergrowth with that light, unhurried trot that has made the fox a figure of legend in every culture it has wandered into.
