This is especially the case since foxes can eat almost anything - meaning they dig through trash to find food, and we know that's unsanitary and dangerous. Along with a helpful little mouse, he starts looking in all the different places where they might be hiding around the house - in a trunk, under the mat, in a cupboard.

It appears to come from Native American mythology: Foxes are considered a minor animal spirit associated with intelligence and wisdom in the Northeast, Midwest and Plains tribes. He was the illustrator for Julia Donaldson's first picture book, A Squash and a Squeeze - the start of a hugely successful partnership. This part does match up with foxes, who live in burrows they've dug up underground when they have cubs. Foxes, once adults, are unlikely to follow that norm, but in the Canidae family, only the dominant pair in a group breeds, and a litter of young are reared annually in an underground den.

It's believed they would occasionally help people or animals in problem-solving or punishing a careless or arrogant person. Everyone knows that owls are nocturnal but one curious little owl decides to take a long nap at night so she can stay awake during the day. At school he was good at art, but didn't think of a career in illustration until he won a cuddly purple cow in a drawing competition.

As such, parts of fox habitats have been destroyed with roads being constructed in the middle of them. Not to mention, their hunting habits are more similar to a cat's: stalking and pouncing on their prey.
