Fuck. I love foxes. Oddly enough, my roommate chased one a few weeks ago through the mighty taco parking lot. Why you ask? :gotme: EDIT - would it be illegal to have a Fox as a pet? I saw a guy on the Discovery Channel with one that basically acted like a dog. Things are so damn cute. ---

Rabies shots hurt like a bitch. Specially when the hot female doctor at ECMC inserts the needle in the wound area than prosceeds to inflate the wound area with rabies vaccine, and thats just the first shot. ---

I’ve seen a lot of weird shit this year that I haven’t seen before, including a coyote running along the atv trails along the 90 by the Blasdell exit on a really hot afternoon. That can’t be normal. ---

Look on youtube,people have them as pets.Certain breeds are very tame.

Its most distinctive feature is its unusually large ears, which serve to dissipate heat and listen for underground prey. The fennec is the smallest fox species. Its coat, ears, and kidney functions have adapted to the desert environment with high temperatures and little water. It mainly eats insects, small mammals and birds. The fe... ---

Why you ask? > > :gotme: > > EDIT - would it be illegal to have a Fox as a pet? I saw a guy on the Discovery Channel with one that basically acted like a dog. Things are so damn cute. In the early spring this year while I was making my wa to the sewage treatment plant across the street from DL to do my daily readings, I saw a fox sitting in the road(more like 1 lane stone driveway through the woods). I was like wtf…thats really odd. So I go up closer really slowly in my work truck…sure enough, 7 baby fox’s romping around on a burm next to the road. They couldnt have been more than a few weeks old. Thats something you almost never see unless its on tv.
