Say it with me now - TGIF! Thank Goddess I'm Foxy. And why should we be thankful? Because foxes have fangs. They are long and pointy on purpose, so they can rip and tear into meat and predators. Unlike knives, their fangs are not very sharp. Rather, they have cusps in order to grasp and cause jagged punctures. But before she uses her fangs to defend herself, she uses other signals to warn her enemies that they are testing her boundaries. However, those warnings aren't enough to ward off the predators who are used to being more dominant in some parts of the animal kingdom.
No, a fox's fangs are not as sharp as knives, which means when they exit, after being sunken into their enemies, they rip out chunks in a jagged manner, leaving wounds to heal unevenly, if they heal at all.
Compared to wolves, coyotes, and large birds, the fox appears more timid. A fox prefers to avoid danger. She is very cautious and uses her instinct to avoid peril. Hissing, growling, and hiding are just a few ways she does it. Apparently, sometimes predators misread the signals as fear, which gives them a false sense of dominance. By the time they realize they were wrong in their assessment, their blood is freely gushing from their body.
No, a fox's fangs are not as sharp as knives, which means when they exit, after being sunken into their enemies, they rip out chunks in a jagged manner, leaving wounds to heal unevenly, if they heal at all. A kitty may have claws, but it's better to have fangs. So, stay foxy!
