Foxy Love
Photographer Proves Foxes Are Loving Creatures
Talented Dutch photographer Roeselien Raimond takes stunning photos of wild foxes. For this year’s Valentine’s day she agreed to give Bored Panda an exclusive interview and talk about how attentive and loving foxes are, despite the popular belief that they are mean and deceitful creatures.
“I know of no animal that shows as much love and affections as foxes do. That could be because I know no animal like I know foxes, but that’s not the point here. The point is… love. Foxy love to be more precise.”
“Foxes are known to be smart, false, deceitful and mean creatures -- this is a successful character assassination; even I believed it as a child, when reading the famous fox fables. That was, until I started following foxes and learned to know them very well and found out that love must be their middle name. I know of no animal that shows as much love and affections as foxes do!"
“I know that foxes will use any excuse for a good cuddle session. Under the guise of cleaning each other's coats lies pure attention and dedication to one another. Mothers and children, brothers and sisters, fathers and cousins… it’s like they live in some sort of hippy community. Sleeping in peace and waking up for love and cuddles, proving everyone who thought they were mean .
“There’s one thing I can still agree to, regarding the stereotypes about foxes. Foxes are smart indeed! They understand that it’s love that makes our world go round."
That's one gift the internet has given us — a steady stream of images and videos showing us that humans are far from the only creatures with a capacity for love. These foxes certainly show tremendous affection for each other, as do cows, pigs, cats, dogs and sheep. It's time for us humans to acknowledge this capacity by treating animals more as friends, less as food.
