What have women and foxes in common?

That does not seem to be just a random subjective observation, but more. I read that many wards and insiders say that especially foxes started to show signs of domestication over the past years, like several species do that learned to benefit from living in cities (food, better protection from predators that do not dare to hunt in cities or against whom cities offer better hiding. A German paper even said the domestication of foxes gets compared to that of dogs long time ago (wolves). Wild boars come to mind, too, and squirrels.

Foxes certainly are very intelligent and playful. And this video shows why people talk of the "laughing foxes". I like them, like squirrels. And I absolutely do not like fox hunting as a "sports" for spoiled upper class blokes. Hunt-killing for food is one thing, but for fun or "sports" imo is perverse. If you like the thrill of hunting, shoot with a camera.
