We love a good crossover post here at the Animal Comedy offices. We brought you adorable animal memes mixed with Lord of the Rings memes, and now we're moving on to our next fantasy crush - Doctor Who. We've been watching Doctor Who since we were kids, always loving the quirky sci-fi world that came with the doctors and all their adventures. But how does this connect to animals, you ask? Well, we found a thread on X that compares David Tennant to fennec foxes, and we're low-key obsessed with it.

We're big fans of this dapper Doctor, and we are howling (or perhaps fox-cackling) over these out-of-the-fox comparisons. These fennec foxes might just be Gallifreyan Time Lords in disguise. They have the same dramatic poses, silly stares, and sometimes perfectly disheveled fluff. They both also scream "I'm clever, and I know it." If you've ever wondered what would happen if David Tennant reincarnated as a fennec fox, well, we've found the foxy proof. Scroll down for the comparison you didn't know you needed until now!

You have to admit - they do have the same spiky hair, expressive eyes, and that aura of cleverness. The fox’s mischief and Tennant’s iconic Tenth Doctor energy make them uncanny doubles. It’s official…Gallifreyan Time Lords might just regenerate as irresistibly foxy fluffballs!

Doesn't this fox's face say to you, “I just saved the universe and I'm absolutely adorable?” Well, it does to us. And you know what? David's face also looks like that. Perhaps they're related? You never know, anything is pawssible in the Doctor Who universe.
