# The Tibetan Fox

This was posted on another forum, but I thought some of you may enjoy it too. I had never seen a Tibetan Fox before - it's a crazy looking animal! ----

The snout is very un-foxlike. Thanks for adding it.

I think those guys were on Planet Earth. Funny looking animals.

That's a scene out of BBC's Planet Earth series. For anyone who loves nature shows, the DVD set is a must. Apparently the series cost over $25 mill to produce and they have some rediculously amazing scenes and some pretty strange animals. I think I've watched it 4 or 5 times now. Just make sure to the get the David Attenborough version (which is the original), not the remake with Sigourney Weaver narrating...she's pretty weak!

Planet Earth is even better on Blu Ray / High Definition. We have the series playing all the time on the Big Screens at work. Amazing! That fox looks like he's on steroids :D He's such a stocky guy and his face looks like some primitive sort of dog's face was cut out puton a fox's body. But there's also something minx-like about him too. It's interesting as when you see him walking from the side, his head stays perfectly still, just like a cheetah. Thanks Brad!~

Osy, I was thinking the same thing about his head. His stance and movement is almost cat-like. Thanks for posting, Brad. I think I remember seeing this on the Planet Earth series, but that is one odd looking fox. Once I get my copy on Blu-Ray, I will have to watch it in high-def. :)

lol...looks like a VERY primative, overly-sized, retarded Shikoku! Gee...I thought Shoushuu had a massive head, this one tops it. Shoot, anything with "Tibetan" in it is hugh and interesting to gaze at. Seeing all of these "wild" canine photos and videos...Shikoku look very much domesticated (yet, I do see similarities) -nods-. Thanks for sharing. This fox is kinda bizzare and yet cute. They look like a species that ran loose with the Sabertooth and the Dinosaurs. It's cool, still alive and thriving! I am amused and entertained by this, lol.
