I love them they are so cute and great. I don't like that they are in trouble. They're just trying to eat to live, like we are.

... What does a fox smell like? I've never been very close to one.

Well...its hard to describe. I would say, very pungent, strong, not in a good way...like it had been rolling in something nasty combined with bad BO.

You think so? They might be cute...but they are smelly, messy and do a lot of damage to orchards as they fly out at night in the thousands, alighting on any fruity area that's vulnerable, they bite and can carry a nasty virus. Still, every creature has its place in the cosmos and this one enjoys almost protected status to my knowledge. I think they are survivors, like cockroaches.
I prefer the little bats that hang out in caves.

Haha! I read the book "Stellaluna" when I was a kid which pretty much sealed my soft spot for all bats, but since foxes were my favourite animal back then, the fruit bat stood out among them. I think they're adorable, and I can't smell very well! lol I'd keep one as a pet if I could. The only bat cuter than the fruit bat is the Honduran white bat [link] They look like flying snowballs!
Then again, I think most spiders are either pretty or cute, so

Yes...I like foxes too...and those little white bats are very cute. Unfortunately I have a keen sense of smell. Although, its a bit like being on a diary farm. After a period of time the odours become less foreign and offensive. I suppose our sense of smell exhausts itself and gives up.
