A female fox lives across the road from us. She has pups almost every year. Last year she had 4. We often saw them playing on the rocks. Once the mom walked on the pavement past the grocery store and crossed the road using the crosswalk with a huge pigeon in her mouth. She was bringing food for her babies. She also keeps the hares nicely under control. One night we went to see the sunset to the rocks where the foxes live and the pups came to play very next to us. One of them came to sniff the air just a few meters from us before it continued down the hill with the other pups. I got it on video and it's one of my best summer memories ever.

_"Foxes are cat software in dog hardware"_ is a phrase I love. I have seen foxes in the road while traveling, but one summer night I saw one walking through the town as if it was just going for a walk. It was beautiful. Just as beautiful as those spreads. One note about the video is that I love the music you chose and the editing with the voice-over. Great job

Hahahahah I live in Kolkata, India and we see foxes everyday at our golf club. They don't tend to approaching when we play golf but anytime I go riding, they will snuggle up close to the horses

🦊 I haven’t seen any in my life, but they are certainly beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration. I hope you’re doing well.

🦊🦊🦊 Foxes are called Ræv (Singular Ræv, Multiple Ræve) in Danish. In Denmark the expression being a "Rævepels" (Fox-fur) means to be cunning. Likewise a "Rævekage" (Fox-cake - meaning fox poo) is an expression for a corrupt political party or activity. Also, the laughing sound foxes make is called gekkering. My husband and I often gekker at each other when we want attention from the other. I thought you might enjoy the facts 😅

Foxes are SO common in the UK. I don’t think there’s been a single evening this week where I haven’t seen one on my way home from work. My partner had a litter of them living under his shed last year, they were so unbelievably cute, tumbling around and play fighting in his garden all day while the mum was sunbathing!!

I'm in the Midwest USA and I only just started seeing foxes in my neighborhood - last fall I saw a beautiful one monitoring the neighborhood and intently watching me with my dog. She didn't take her eyes off of us - I could feel her eyes on me for the whole block. my dog didn't notice her - she was gorgeous in the early morning sun ❤

I live in the piedmont of North Carolina. Growing up I lived in a heavily wooded neighborhood with lots of deer and we did once see a family of foxes. I was about 20 feet away. Super cool.

Oh how amazing! I keep hoping to see a fox near our house but they tend to stick to the edge of town out here. I get so excited whenever I spot one!

I live in a northern province of Spain and surely there are foxes in this area, red foxes. My grandparents had a farm near a little forest that you could use as a shortcut to the village fair in the summer. There were foxes and little snakes amongst other species living in that forest so when I was a kid spending holidays at the farm my granny never allowed me to use the shortcut at night not to disturb the foxes. I have never seen a fox in that forest in my life, they were very shy. Then later in life I went to spend a weekend in London and my hotel was in the Wembley area, so I had to take the subway all the way there, when I arrived and I got out of the station it was early night yet there was nobody in the streets. I was on my own when I looked at was was in front of me, a fox had come to welcome me to London. It felt magical. Fun thing. In Spanish, fox is Zorro, and they are so clever that yes, the Mexican hero of the movies and comics was nicknamed after a fox, "El Zorro".

We have foxes in our backyard! One of them used to play with my dog before she passed. They'd chase each other, roll around, and lay down near each other. The other foxes would be near by just laying around and looking over the same time I was outside reading and looking up every now and then. It felt like we were parents watching our kids play on the playground 😂

Absolutely exquisite!! When I was young I loved foxes, regardless of never having seen one. I remember meeting a new student at school who’s last name was fox and i thought she was sooo lucky for that! Many years later I have the same last name!! I’m in my 60s & had a mild stroke. I used to be an artist and knitter but my hands are too tremorous now. I LOVE your work and your curiosity for learning, we share that.

We have many foxes where we live in PA. Many years ago I attended Foxcroft School (Middleburg, VA), and all students were assigned to either of two teams- foxes or hounds. I saw the Middleburg Hunt leave from our school every fall.

Every year for christmas, my grandpa sets up a christmas tree in our garden by attaching string/wire to it that is attached to poles that are stuck in the ground (hope you get the visual). A couple years ago, we were just having breakfast and looking outside when a fox came out of nowhere and went straight for the strings, biting through several of them which caused the tree to fall over😂 this was the first time that my boyfriend got to see a fox.

Beautiful! I love the theme. I live in London where there are lots of foxes. My favourite memory is when I was walking my friend’s shiba inu and we encountered a fox. It came way closer than they normally do, and the two animals stared at each other as if asking, “Are we the same?”

Red Foxes are cool - I've had a few encounters with them. In the UK, you are more likely to see them in cities than in the countryside because they are more relaxed and less afraid of people - we once had a family living at the bottom of our garden at a house we lived in (there was also a small badger sett, too - sometimes foxes and badgers live near each other and use the same holes when one of them has moved out.) We used to put left over food out for them and saw them on a regular basis. We don't live there now but I miss those foxes. If you want to read a good book about them, then The Complete Fox by Les Stocker, Urban Foxes by Stephen Harris and Foxwatching are good books. Les Stocker started the St Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in the UK, which was one of the first to exist here and Stephen Harris started the Fox Project in Bristol (as he was a researcher at Bristol University) and discovered that foxes live in small family groups - it was quite easy to discover it because there is more food around for them in cities and foxes are more likely to form family groups if there is a lot of food around - if there isn't, then it's just the fox and vixen (and their cubs in the summer.) They don't hunt together though, they just live in the same territory.

Firstly I LOVED your theme, it must be the first educational bullet journal video I have ever watched (started in Feb) and it was awesome. I am from South Africa so any wild life is interesting to me. We have the Cape fox but that is very specific to an area and wild. We don’t really have foxes as such, we have jackals which are in the wild. A sort of cross between a fox and a German Shephard. Small face like a fox and ears like the GS. They are cunning animals which is a trait of the fox. They tend to be seen after a kill and eating whatever morsels are left. I have seen many in my life and all different species. I now live in UK and sadly foxes are looked upon as menaces. We have encroached on their territory and they literally have nowhere else to go. These are the grey foxes. The red foxes are rare to see but when you do oh what a treat. Secondly I loved your background music!

Beautiful drawings ! I really love this theme (even though my bullet journal is very minimalist, I think I will place a little fox near my calendar). I live in France, close to a forest and often come across foxes, squirrels, badgers and many others.

Oh how lovely! We have foxes and hares mostly, though if we drive out of town we’re inundated with deer and moose, and even the occasional bear or coyote!

Beautiful setup, especially love the academic feel to it. I think my only fox experience growing up in AZ was seeing the fennec fox at the Phoenix Zoo. 🤔 A bit of a tangent, but have you heard of the D&D podcast called Worlds Beyond Number? I bring it up because there's a homebrew Witch class player character with a talking red fox familiar, and he absolutely steals every scene he's involved in. The worldbuilding and collaborative storytelling is stellar, diverse cast, and it also has insanely good audio production (headphones highly recommended). I really think you would love it. 🦊

You are so talented, it’s nuts! I know you’ve worked hard to hone this beautiful skill and it shows in your careful craftsmanship ❤

Love the setup. I live in the American South. Have seen adult and young adult red foxes sneaking through the neighborhood

The place I just moved out of is down in some woods. There's a bunch of red foxes that live out there. They're so cool to see! Something about the way they move is magical.

We have foxes in the field behind our house. We don't see them often, but one night, in the middle of winter about midnight, there was a racket in the front yard that sounded like kids running and playing. It was way too cold and way too late for that. Turns out it was 3 foxes running around and "communicating". Not sure if they were fighting or if that was normal playing. Wild for sure.

I live in Norway and I've mostly seen foxes running over the road while in a car myself, not so much in the wild. One time we saw a hare running into the road first and we stopped the car, only for a fox to come 5 seconds after chasing the hare. Hoping nature had good intentions for both of them but we'll never know how it ended... 🦊 This setup is very inspiring and I love your tea stained papers so much. I recently did a fox drawing myself so this was a very funny coincidence to see you have a fox theme, heh.

There is a wonderful book about foxes called "Die Weisheit der Füchse" (The Wisdom of Foxes) which taught me a lot about these amazing animals. For instance the myth about them spreading rabies and being portrait as the bad guy in western stories in history. Very interesting. A few fun facts are that they never use their teeth in a fight and that they are adopting abandoned fox pups :) What I also found very interesting is that their mimics. Open mouth (the it looks like they are grinning) and wide eyes is a sign of high stress. Unfortunately the book is only available in German. There are a lot of foxes living in Berlin Germany and I see one quite often :) Love your bullet journal videos! Sending much love and creative vibes

Woooow 😍 🦊

This makes me want to rewatch Fantastic Mr. Fox 🦊Love the scientific drawing spreads! There's a fox I see sometimes when I drive to work thats crossing a major road to a near by neighborhood. I haven't seen it lately, learning about their life spans from your video I wonder if maybe it's passed on. Or it could've moved down the road to the golf course to get fat off geese!

What a lovely theme Elizabeth, I love foxes. What I especially love about your setups is the facts that accompany almost every one of your themes. Not many KZreadrs do that, and that's my favorite thing about your bullet journal videos. That and your voice which is so lovely and soothing, it always brings me peace when I listen to you. ❤🦊

When I'm home from school, I like to take walks around my neighborhood, and here are certain places at the edges that I like to visit that are more heavily wooded where I've seen foxes every once in a while from far away. This one time in mid-January, I was going behind some houses near the edge of the forest, and there was this fox sunbathing near a picket fence, and I didn't notice it until it had gotten up and run back from me a couple yards. But when I turned to see what had just run past me, we kind of just stared at each other for maybe 30 s? Eventually, I went to walk away, but when I turned back to glance at it once more, it had taken a couple steps towards me, so I stopped, and then it stopped, and then we stared at each other some more, so then I went to walk away, and when I glanced back again, it also started to walk away. A lot of staring.

Foxes live near my home and they often come and snif for leftover food in the trash. A few days ago, I was walking home, it was dark and was looking around me. Then i looked in front of me and i stopped because i was face to face with a fox, in the middle of the streets. He was beautiful but i was a little scared he was going to jump on me ahaha. He didn't and i just walked around him and he just stared at me until I was out of sight.

I live in southern Poland, and my family home is near the fields so sometimes I do see foxes in the wild. That's rare though, I mostly see deer or boars And as for fox interactions, I only really had one and that was when I was on vacation by the sea and at night two young foxes came very close to the house we were staying at, because there was like a bit of food left on the barbecue which they probably smelled from afar and came to eat (which I know that foxes are not meant to eat human food but the area was gated and I don't think anyone was expecting that they will just jump the fence and come so close to a place where people stay) 🦊🦊🦊

When I was a kid, we a rocky area at the back of our property (like... boulders, not gravel) that housed a family of foxes one year. It was so lovely to see them play when the kits grew up and started moving around outside the den. We could watch them from our living room window.

Red foxes remind me of the Lobo-guará which is an animal native to Brazil, where I live. Maybe it's because of the similar color of their fur, but they're not even part of the same family 😂. I love your videos and drawings and I loved the theme of the month 🥰

I just finished Yangsze Choo's The Fox Wife: A Novel, so this theme is perfect!

Foxes are so common in the UK, especially in urban areas - I often see one trotting across the campus lawns at dawn at the University where I work. There's a nature reserve nearby where one of the bird hides overlooks a place where a group of foxes den, and watching the babies play and tumble whilst the carer adults watch over them and sometimes correct them is just the best experience! (The birds probably object, but its the kind of local low level reserve where all wildlife that can live there gets to co-exist, for the most part).
