DANG! They dig fast! O.O

@miniixio foxes are canines. There in the dog family. They are a type of dog. Do you know how there are house cats that are home cats and tigers are wild cats? It's kinda the same thing. House dogs and wild dogs (the fox) are both canines.

@AnnaHxC Not just annoying, even painful if there's something too loud.

[rfengr]

why are they comparing it to dogs? ..I thought dogs come from wolves, and if so wouldn't you compare it to the original source, the wolves ?

[Pisces298]

@rfengr perhaps they mean 'canines' not dogs.

[MagnetixTM]

Ants: its teh fox run!

[jadBC666]

cool haha!!

[AnnaHxC]

hearing like that must get annoying after a while, especially if you go to a concert

[morbidpancakes]

Someone could make a fortune training one of these to do termite extermination....

[Sunnnyx]

imagine someone playing vuvuzela next to that.. D:

so sad .. ?

[Lukeschedel]

but can it hear good?

[Galshaer]

Thank god for those sound wave effects, would have had no idea what she was saying without them

BTW, domestic dogs are basically a subspecies of wolf. There are a lot of canines called "dogs" that are in no way the same scientific species, or even closely related to, the domestic dog or wolf. There are a lot of weird "dogs" out there, particularly in the Americas where the Canididae (foxes, wolves, dogs) originally evolved!

[chir0pter]

Animals called dogs, wolves, and foxes, but not raccoons, mongooses, bears, meerkats, or hyenas, are all members of family Caninidae. Canids, along with the families containing variously bears, seals, raccoons, weasels, red pandas comprise the extant families within suborder Caniformia, while cats, hyenas, mongooses, civets, palm civets, and Malagasy carnivores (fossa, etc) form suborder Feliformia.

[miniixio]

if its a fox, why does she keep saying its part of the dog family? Im so confused, is this animal a canine or a fox?

[Tallymatt]

foxes are vulpine

[chir0pter]

@Tallymatt ...foxes are "vulpine", but they and other Canidae are also "canine"

[wikipily]

lol.....i dunno if they are really in cat family....but i do know they are realated with wolves and other dogs

[sonazn]

Who wouldn't want one of these in their homes?

I'd like one to eat the bugs/insects in my home... they annoy me.

[NicBean85]

aren't foxes members of the cat family instead of the canine family?

anyhow, really cute animal, especially those babies with their huge ears :)

[therealchachalita]
