At the end of this preview: "In victory, a guanaco smile", the narrator says. Incorrect. The body posture (sideways to the retreating fox), the gesture of the head (muzzle up, ears back, mouth showing tension), and the vocalization all indicate that the guanaco was warning the fox not to return.

Am grateful for the nature programs, but sad when the animal behavior is misinterpreted by the 'experts'.

Poor little foxy

Yeah grazers! Represent.

I have a pair of foxfur earmuffs. I bet that guanaco would smile about that.
