Saw this fox on a creek bank that had been dug deeper for flood control. He ran along these rocks until he noticed I was watching him. Then he took off.
The Red Fox eats mostly small animals and is no match against a dog, or wolf. It can out smart them, by walking in a creek or on top of a fence to hide their scent.
The Fox and the Crow Aesop's Fable
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: "Do not trust flatterers."
Proverbs 29:5
"A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his steps."
