[TJQ]

[LostAnotherOne]

Ya that's a fox.  There sound is not as strong as say a coyote or bigfoot.

[TJQ]

Yeah, that is 100% a red fox TJQ. A very beautiful and vey intelligent mammal that are found throughout all of Canada. Very nice to see one. And yes that is what they sound like.

Doesn't sound anything like that "What does the fox say" song but sure looks like a (healthy) fox to me

[RickOnt]

I gotta agree with others.

Sure looks like a Fox

[BITEME]

A very healthy looking red fox!

 

[Barry Willis]

You are right BITEME. They do eat eggs of wild birds and the birds them selves if they are lucky enough to catch and have been known to raid chicken coops. Their main diet consists of mice throughout the year.

100% fox. Looks really healthy, the foxes round here are scrawny looking mangy critters.

That reminds me of this old joke, one of my favourites!

 

"Chretien's 'at" joke

 

Prime Minister Jean Chretien was meeting with officials in Flin Flon, Manitoba. It was a very hot day and the ceremonies took place outside in a local grandstand. The Mayor was surprised to see that Chretien was wearing a large fox fur hat, despite the heat.
After a while the mayor leaned over and spoke up. "Excuse me, Mr. Prime Minister, but I can't help wondering why you are wearing that fox hat when it is so warm?"
Chretien shrugged. "Well, you know 'ow it is", he replied. "My wife, she is da dresser in da family, so I always take 'er advice.
If I go to de Maritime, she say 'Wear da toque'.
If I go to Calgaree, she say 'Wear da stetson'.
Dis time she ask me where I go; I say Flin Flon.
She say 'Flin Flon! Where the fock's 'at ?'
So I did!"

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good one made my morning.... I'm sure I will tell that one once or twice!

[TJQ]

Hahaha.. nice.

I keep bird feeders on the front lawn in the winter and there's always a few squirrels hanging around it to grab whatever falls on the ground. I just happened to be looking out the window watching the birds a couple years back and saw a fox sneaking up the driveway and when he got 20' from the squirrels he turned on the afterburners and covered the 20' in a couple jumps and grabbed a squirrel from behind and shook him hard and that was it. He grabbed that little squirrel and killed him so fast he didn't know what hit him.

My little Aussie destroys rats the same way not to eat them just for sport, take her to the wharf at night in the summer, amazing to watch cant even see her head move its shaking so fast.

[lew]

Fortunately we don't have any rats around here Pete but the killing process with your pooch sounds about the same LOL

[big guy]

female fox or vixen. They have a crazy call. First time I heard it was under our bedroom window at 3 in the morning, nearly sh!t myself.
