Okay, so I'm a foxperson. What can I say? Intelligent, clever, debonair, and consistently portrayed as rogues for hundreds of years in every known culture... How can you not like these guys?
What I am in the process of assembling here is a set of links to the best fox sites on the Web, and hopefully a few bits of fox lore not readily available. I'll be adding stuff all the time, so please do check back often.
The
Ozfoxes Foxweb : Possibly the single best source of entertaining foxlore
on the Web. Cartoons, songs, legends, how-to-draw pages... It's
all here.
BBC Watch Out - Foxes : Evidently the online companion to a
BBC television programme, this site has good solid fox information, including
where to find foxes in the cities, what sort of urban food they prefer, and
even some audio files of foxes yipping. Worth a look.
"Wile E. Coyote
and Other Sly Trickster Tales," a very nice essay by Terri Windling, fantasy
editor extraordinaire, concerning a veritable Rogues' Gallery of cross-cultural
tricksterdom. Not only is the essay itself worth a read, but she provides
a pretty hefty bilbiography afterwards...
The Urban Fox Home Page, a site by Tim
Susman at the University of Minnesota. It's a scientific study of urban fox
populations, with a good-sized photo section.
The Predator
Defense Institute : This is a direct link to the PDI's fox page; here you'll
find all sorts of info on the rather strained relationship between Vulpes
vulpes and Homo Sapiens.
