INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Red fox (vulpes vulpes)
Location: red fox is native to North America, whole Europe, whole Asia, north Africa and it was introduced to Australia
Size: 100 cm long body + 45 cm long tail, 40 cm high weight: 12 kg
Diet: red foxes are omnivorous and are highly opportunistic, so they eat almost everything from small insects to cranes. Red foxes hunt insects, worms, fish, birds, mice, rabbits, crayfish, baby deers. But they eat also fruit (apples, blackberries...) and plants.
Conservation status: Least Concern (the most common carnivora)
Interesting facts: red fox can hide its food to find it later | usually five cubs are born blind and helpless in the burrow | foxes have many colour variations: usually – ginger-red, but also black or silver, Unfortunately, red fox is kept by fur farms and some ----- torture them just to gain their fur. Red foxes are also hunted by so called ,,sportmen“ | red foxes suffer from rabies | red fox is considered to be vermit | red foxes produce pretty weird sounds XD | foxes in the wild live only some 4 years, but they can reach 12 years in captivity
Enemies: golden eagles, gray wolves, cougars, lynxes, coyotes, badgers, wolverines
Legend: foxes play important role in many myths and legend. Due their inteligence, they have become symbol of slyness and cunning. They are also very popular animals, who have role in many fairy tales. In the Czech republic, author Rudolf Tesnohlidek wrote very famous book about very clever hand-rised vixen called Bystrouska. I loved that book and also it funny happy end!

This is probably your best fox photograph you have taken yet. You got that fox's eyes gleaming right to your camera, look at those eyes! I bet it's hard to get a picture taken this well huh? I bet you try your best to get as close to the animals as you can without scaring them in order to takes these amazing close-up photos! Excellent job!
Keep it up!

Renard! Such beautiful bright eyes! There is an opera "The Clever Little Vixen" but I am not very familiar with it.

I know--she dies. We joke here in the U.S. that it isn't a real opera unless one of the lead characters dies!
I would still be interested in hearing/seeing a performance.

Really? Who wrote the book? I did not know that the opera was based on a book! Is it also called "The Clever Little Vixen?"

woxys In reply to Gryffgirl [2011-08-09 01:12:20 +0000 UTC]
Rudolf Těsnohlídek it is called ,,Liska Bystrouska" which can be translated as ,,Vixen / fox Bystrouska". Bystrouska is non-existing word/name, but it can be translated as ,,Sharp-eared"
the book is extremely well-known in my country and Bystrouska, name of the main character of the book, is commonly used as other name for a fox here

Thanks for the information! The book was translated into English in 1985. I'm going to find a copy. Bystrouska is a wonderful name for a fox!
