Are foxes smart?
Yes. Predators are generally smarter than their prey, with very few exceptions. (Pigs and sheep are only prey, but both are smart, the pig especially so.) The myths and stories about their cunning are based on truth. Foxes are smaller than both coyotes and wolves, and they don’t even compare to bears. Badgers are also stronger, leaving foxes as the weakest carnivore where they live. Despite this, they remain the only carnivorous mammal (of those mentioned above) that manage to hunt hares. They trace their tracks in the snow, then wait for the mother to return to her home, and eat both the parent and the babies. On top of that, they’re great at hiding, and are surprisingly good thieves. They’re also a lot bolder than the other animals. A wolf would most likely run away from you, but a fox might out-right approach you if it sees a bag near you, just to take a peak inside.“No guts, no glory.” sums them up, and it usually pays off, since they’re fast enough to get away.
