Description
edit: now available as Printroeselienraimond.com | Blog | Facebook |
To avoid bloodshed, foxes have developed a series of rituals to replace actual violent behaviour.
With a varity of vocalizations, like their very stereotypical ‘gekkering’ and dominant or submissive postures, they make their statements very clear.
Instead of deploying their sharp teeth and claws, they rear up on their hind legs, lay their paws on the opponents shoulders, put down their ears and tail, and face each other with wide open mouths.
These wide mouths agape leave little to the imagination:
‘Take a gooood look at these very sharp teeth, before considering another battle.
I’m being very friendly now, but the very next time we meet, I might as well use ‘em!

HAha, you know them foxes well!
But don't you think this is a brilliant way of fighting...?
Imagine human wars fought this way...with our great leaders rolling on the ground, legs in the air....and all problems being solved afterwards!

Lovely shot and nice to hear the details behind it. For what it's worth, I'm betting these two are married.

I didn't realize the foxes jaw spar much like wolves. In fact, all that behavior you described, I've seen in wolves as well. Very interesting to learn this about foxes.
Lovely photo!
