Why Are Foxes So Cute and Fascinating?
Foxes are fascinating creatures apart from being endearing. They have some remarkable qualities. Scientists have found that foxes can see the Earth’s magnetic field and use that skill to hone in on prey. They stalk, pounce, and sometimes play with their game when hunting. They also can retract their claws like a cat.
Besides these skills, foxes are incredibly playful. They have natural curiosity and mischievousness, which can entertain people for hours. There are so many beautiful fox species worldwide. These cute and funny fox pictures remind us how wonderful they are.

Are Foxes Friendly With Humans?
You might have seen many cute foxes before but wondered if they were friendly enough to approach. Foxes are generally scared of people and might run away if they detect a presence. Sometimes, foxes visit people at home or when they are out for a walk.
A wild fox might not trust humans but can become friendly over time. If a person feeds the fox and does not harm it, it might learn to trust the human. There are some beautiful instances, like when a woman fed foxes for 25 years, and now their offspring visit her. However, this does not mean that you should approach all foxes without worry. They can be unpredictable and attack if they feel threatened.

This Fox Came Up To My Brother And I While I Was Walking My Dog. Wasn’t Hostile At All!
Snowfoxrox 3 years ago
Foxes have a history of being friendly with dogs. There was one who lived in Arroyo Grande, Ca. He lived in a park and made friends with several of the dogs that visited. He'd play with them and had no fear of people. Sadly a mean woman accused him of killing her chickens and had him euthanized. Then it was proven to not be the fox and people lost their ever loving c**p on her. She deserved everything she got and more.

Looks like a gray fox, one of the only two canids that don't fall into either the Vulpini or Canini branches of Canidae. That and the island fox (a smaller version of the gray fox) are the only living members of the Urocyon branch of Canidae, a branch that predates the Vulpini/Canini split.
Natalia Linnik 3 years ago
I hate to be the one to say it but… be careful with wild animals that seem to be friendly, that could be a sign of Rabies.
Are Foxes Smart?
You might have noticed that foxes are playful, cunning, and wily in these cute fox pictures. Out of nearly 40 species of foxes, 12 belong to the ‘vulpus’ genus and are considered exceptionally smart. Meaning that their intelligence eclipses dogs.
Foxes are part of the canine family and descend from the opposite end of the family tree as dogs. Foxes are more intelligent than dogs because they might approach the same problem from multiple angles. They also have excellent memory and spatial reasoning.
Foxes are smart enough to communicate and understand each other's body language, facial expressions, and scents. Dutch photographer Roeselien Raimond’s wildlife photography also shows that foxes are highly loving creatures apart from being so intelligent.

Why Are Foxes So Playful?
Foxes are naturally curious and playful creatures. This playing behavior starts from a young age, and it’s a way of establishing a social hierarchy. This struggle for dominance begins when the foxes are pups, and their play can be pretty brutal.
Animal behaviorists have found that 1 in 5 fox pups might not survive due to their harsh way of playing. You’d never think these cute baby foxes engage in such aggressive play.

How to Draw Cute Foxes?
After seeing all these cute pictures of foxes, it’s no wonder that you might want to take to art to express the beauty you saw. You can learn how to draw a cute fox by watching this video or following these steps:
- Make a symmetrical horizontal oval, which will become the head.
- Then, draw two pointed ears up top.
- Inside the head, draw two cute oval eyes with eyebrows.
- Make a button nose in the center.
- Draw its mouth so it’s shaped like a curvy ‘w.’
- Then, make a cylindrical body and add two legs in front.
- Lastly, it would be best if you made a big bushy tail for the fox.
Check out this studio photoshoot highlighting foxes' personalities and characteristics if you want fantastic drawing inspiration.

Why Are Snow Foxes So Cute?
If you check out these winter fox pictures, you’ll realize that Arctic foxes are incredibly cool and cute. They have a beautiful white coat, which provides excellent camouflage for hunting in the snow. This warm coat helps them survive in temperatures as low as -58° Fahrenheit (-14° Celsius). These winter foxes don’t shiver until the temperatures reach -94° F (-34° Celsius).
Can You Outfox These Foxes?
Let’s say you came across one of these cute foxes on your next outing. What would you do? Many people might run away, but it might be awesome to learn from the curiosity of foxes and befriend one of them. If you’ve ever had an incredible encounter with a fox, share your stories in the comments.
There are some fascinating stories like Sam Gaby’s when he befriended an orange and black fox and got some fascinating photos from the experience.

Fox Playing
Vanessa Richardson 3 years ago
If anyone is curious why the have duct taped a tarp to their couch, it’s because foxes will burrow. That’s what they do, so pet foxes often destroy sofas by ripping into them and using it like a den. They’re trying to keep him from doing that. (Although I don’t know if the tarp deterrent would actually work.)
Yoga Kitty 3 years ago
Maybe the tarp is only hiding the den he already created in the sofa...
