foxes

Foxes are one of our favorite animals, and we know it's one of your faves too. There's a very simple reason for that. We, as people who love animals more than anything in the world, who love dogs and cats equally, simply have to also love the animal that is essentially cat software running on dog hardware (otherwise known as a fox). It only makes sense. 

We have no idea how one of the cutest, friendliest animals who has the cutest laugh managed to get a reputation so bad. But we know better, We know foxes are awesome. So, it's time for your fancy, fuzzy, fierce and fresh fox fix because we know you want it. 

Are you ready for one of our favorite animals in one of its cutest forms ever? Well, brace yourself because these big-eared fennec foxes are mighty predators who are super duper dangerous too cute to be as fierce as they are, and they will totally steal your heart in the most criminal way possible. 

Of course, their big ears have a very important function of helping them dissipate heat. All we can think about though is them is how there's just more ear space to scratch behind and bring big ol' smiles onto these foxes' faces, because my goodness, these ears are one of the cutest things we've ever seen.

When it comes to foxes, it's no secret that we're in love with them. All foxes, from red foxes to arctic foxes and all the foxes in-between. They are so heckin' adorable and we believe we understand the fox obsession. Think about it, they sort of look like bigger cats yet act like dogs. They pant, they play fetch, they're communicative. They also have a cat-like tendency to them as well, the way they sleep, the way they walk on their toes, very elegant cat-like tread. Or how about the fact that they are the only members of the dog family that can climb trees?

Foxes are truly a hybrid of both cats and dogs. The Canadian Marble fox is a unique one, with gorgeous black and white markings that almost make the animal look like a mythical creature or unreal. However, this exotic animal is real and they stem from the canine family. Marble foxes, unlike wolves, tend to hunt alone. These gorgeous animals are so lovely to look at, we only wish there were more photos of these beauties around to marvel at! 

There are some animals out there who look like they are a mix of endless animals combined. This is one of them, and it. is. cute. 

The bat-eared fox maybe named after a bat, but to us, it looks more like a rabbit mixed with a puppy mixed with a little bit of Pokémon in it. It's so unique-looking, we can't help but love it because us, animal lovers, know how to appreciate the stranger (i.e. cooler) animals out there. We also love foxes, in every shape and form because foxes are painfully adorable. 

So enjoy these foxes that are all ears and always willing to listen, and if you're looking for some more foxes to love, click right here. 

Foxes. Or, in other words, "cat software running on dog hardware". And also "one of our favorite animals ever". 

They are so adorable, so beautiful, so ridiculously friendly, they have the best laugh and love being petted, and yet, somehow they've managed to get themselves an awful, awful reputation. But we know better, and we love foxes so much, it's only right to appreciate them a little more and a little more often.

So, take a look at this fancy, fluffy, fierce fox pics, and appreciate these awwwdorable animals with us. And if this is not enough, here's some more.

There's nothing quite like the magic of snow. White covering everything in something that feels like a blanket of purity. And though we may be hiding at home, it's the winter animals' time to absolutely thrive. 

One of our favorite winter animals is the fluffy, gorgeous arctic fox. Arctic foxes are honestly just as pure as snow, both because of how perfectly white they are, and that's beautiful, but also because... they're foxes, and is there anything purer than foxes? Arguable. Foxes are always adorable and wholesome, but arctic foxes in the snow really bring out that wintry magic. 

We here at Cheezburger have the absolutely softest spot in our hearts for foxes. Foxes are just... so adorable and so wholesome and so funny. They are one of our favorite animals in the world (along with a whoooole lotta other animals that we love of course) (but foxes are extra special and cute to us). 

Something else that we love a lot is baby animals. Any baby animals. Any animal in its Tiny Form is the cutest, and no one can argue that. Now, combine foxes and babies and you get... a cuteness explosion of epic proportions! So, if you feel like you need some extra cuteness in your life, we don't know of many things much better to offer than tiny fox cubs being their adorable selves/

It's strange to think that there are various different fox species out there, and what's weirder is that some of them aren't as classically adorable as the foxes you normally see in the media. 

There are over 37 different fox species around the globe, however, only 12 of those fox species would be considered "true fox types" of the Vulpes genus. Foxes can be found all over the globe, in multiple continents and different regions. From the desert regions to the artic, foxes can be found nearly everywhere. Out of all the foxes in the world, the red fox is considered to be the most common. 

And we're not sure about you but we haven't seen all 37 species of fox in person, and maybe not even online. Some foxes may look a bit stranger than you would expect. One Twitter user decided to take it upon himself to rate that weirdness. 

Twitter user @ColinJCarlson decided to go in-depth and rate various types of foxes, then share those rates with the rest of Twitter. And we're grateful to have such a thoughtful fox rating system in place. 

Ah the blep... one of our favorite animal phenomena. The true masters of blep are, of course, cats. That's inarguable. But! Did you know that foxes do the bleps too? Oh, yes, they do. 

And if we may say so ourselves, they might just be a worthy runner up for the Blep Master crown. It's not an easy feat. Even competing is an achievement. Cats have been purrfecting the blep since the dawn of cat. But... look at these foxes and tell us that they're not worthy competitors - impossible.  

May these foxy bleps bless your weekend. They definitely brought some joy to our day. Because truly, is there anything more bleping wonderful some happy, derpy foxes performing the elusive act of the blep?
