Today is a hard day for a lot of us. The future is... uncertain, and that's putting it very mildly.
So today, a few extra fox facts that have absolutely nothing to do with our current political climate in the US.
Foxes are extremely adaptable. The red fox, alone, thrives on five of the seven continents, with only South America and Antarctica having no red foxes. Foxes have found ways to thrive damn near everywhere.
Foxes in and around cities look and act different from their more rural counterparts. They are able to do what they need to do to thrive in their environment, and adapt quickly.
Even climate change doesn't threaten red foxes the way it threatens so many other species. They've successfully moved north and done quite well for themselves.
A lot of the animals included in Vulpes and Urocyon don't look anything like our usual conception of foxes. Because they've become their own wonderful, beautiful, unique things in their own environments.
The Tibetan Fox adapted to the steppes.
The Corsac Fox adapted to the mountains.
The Fennec Fox adapted to the deserts.
The Arctic Fox adapted to the tundra.
The Kit Fox adapted to the American Southwest.
The Swift Fox adapted to the grasslands of the Western US.
Red Foxes adapted to bigger changes than this.
They'll adapt. They'll be okay. I promise.
We'll adapt. We'll be okay. I promise.
We can be bold and brave, we can be known as tricksters throughout the world and through history, we can adapt and become truly ungovernable.
Be just a little more foxy today.
