Oh, foxes… foxes are one of the cutest animals out there. Yes, they are. Foxes, as is well-known, are just cat software running on dog hardware. Which makes them the best of both worlds. Foxes get excited when their owners come back from vacation and act like little puppies. Foxes like listening to music- guitars, banjos, anything. Foxes love playtime with other animals, and foxes are so happy to reunite with their friends after time apart. 

You cannot tell us that foxes wouldn't make one of the cutest, sweetest, most adorable pets ever. But unfortunately, they are not pets. They are not domesticated, and we would never force it on them, no matter how much we might want one as a pet. But what if they domesticate themselves? Hey, cats and dogs did it, why not foxes too? And it seems that some people think that's exactly where we're heading.

    Getting domesticated or not, this still would have been a completely magical moment for us. Foxes are like- one of our favorite animals ever. We would be so happy to be able to feed it and all of the friends that it brings every single day, no matter how much money it cost us. Just for the story - for the magic - we would have to do it.

    And really, if you have never come across this video before, then you are so not ready for just the amount of foxes that are about to appear in frame. It's not just one or two friends that this little guy brought over. We're pretty sure it's multiple generations of multiple families.

    I'm David Ruffin, and these are The Temptations @LaCienegaBlvdss Zoologists believe foxes are currently trying to become domesticated. They're taking on cat/dog like behaviors hoping humans will take on the burden of feeding and caring for them because they're tired of the wild.

    0:04 Readers added context they thought people might want to know Foxes and other wild animals accept food from humans due to being habituated-causing them to lose their natural survival instincts—not because they want to be cared for. Feeding wildlife poses many risks to both humans and animals fws.gov/story/hidden-h... discoverwildcare.org/wp-content/upl... Do you find this helpful?

    savage baby @saylesssavage so, foxes are basically saying, "we've had enough of the wild; it's time to upgrade to room service and comfy couches"? guess they're smarter than we thought—next thing you know, they'll be mastering puppy dog eyes for extra treats! 4:52 PM • May 31, 2024 559.6K Views 21 17267 8.5K Σ 122
