#fox behavior

Or like right here from the video citrus showed us. It doesn’t seem aggressive and it only lasts a few seconds at a time??

I don’t know if anyone’s seen Ron Ron the fox, but he does it a lot when his owner pets him or something. Maybe it’s a sign of affection...?

I’ve been looking around for the past 20 minutes and can’t find anything specifically about it (although I might be really bad at Googling lol)

 "When afraid, red foxes grin in submission, arching their backs, curving their bodies, crouching their legs and lashing their tails back and forth with their ears pointing backwards and pressed against their skulls. When merely expressing submission to a dominant animal, the posture is similar, but without arching the back or curving the body. Submissive foxes will approach dominant animals in a low posture, so that their muzzles reach up in greeting. When two evenly matched foxes confront each other over food, they approach each other sideways and push against each other's flanks, betraying a mixture of fear and aggression through lashing tails and arched backs without crouching and pulling their ears back without flattening them against their skulls. When launching an assertive attack, red foxes approach directly rather than sideways, with their tails aloft and their ears rotated sideways. During such fights, red foxes will stand on each other's upper bodies with their forelegs, using open mouthed threats. Such fights typically only occur among juveniles or adults of the same sex."

Mike Trowler has established an intriguing relationship with Jack the fox, and explains the interesting nature of fox behavior (did you know they bark like a dog and purr like a cat?). For more info, click here.
