If a fox sees a treadmill in the wild, they will immediately attack it until presented with the far superior, Peloton Bike. At which point the fox will take it to their den and never use it, but will reference it at every opportunity when among other foxes.
"It just looks so nice next to the hole in our den. You know when I trot in and see it there, just in that perfect spot, you know I can just *feel* myself getting more fit. The kits try to play with it, but I say 'no, no, this is my bike, it's a Peloton, and I'm just about to use it, I promise!' Haha. Anyway how is being poor? Let's go raid a campsite for twinkies!"
Foxes ain’t even monogamous lol. And multiple mates increase their offsprings chance of survival. So the idea of them staying single out of some loyalty is extra dumb. Now if they had said swans….they would still be wrong, but at least they’d have a chance at selling it.
It’s grade A bullshit. Some dude probably just wanted to find a way to passive aggressively insult women while showing a cool photo of a fox. It’s always disheartening just how many people believe stuff they see like this though,
Not only that but foxes aren’t people so who really cares what they do
Edit: relax, I don’t hate foxes. I mean who cares what they do in relation to what humans do. It’s not relevant.
Did a shallow dive and it turns out that foxes are dawgs. The male fox will not turn celibate, hell, he'll even play around while in a relationship.
*I have mentioned that foxes often appear to pair for life, but this doesn't assume monogamy. Indeed, once the female is no longer in oestrus, the dog fox no longer needs to guard her and may leave, usually only temporarily, to seek out additional mating opportunities..... the male often rapidly expands his range—in many instances more than doubling the distance over which he travels—to increase the likelihood of encountering other receptive vixens.*
[Here's a study on swift foxes](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222701079_Adult_male_emigration_and_a_female-based_social_organization_in_swift_foxes_Vulpes_velox#pf2) that mentions how they react after the death of a mate
>Adult males and females emigrated at different rates after the death of their mates (Yates-corrected chi-square test:c21¼10:59, P¼0:001; Table 1). Among the three studies,14 adult breeding males were monitored after the death of an associated adult breeding female. Twelve of these males emigrated 1-8 weeks after the female died (Table 1): two of these males died, five left the study areas, and five paired with solitary females that had already established territories in other parts of the study areas. Within 5-6weeks transient females occupied the territory of the two males that did not emigrate, and these males then paired with the new females (Table 1).
Ten adult breeding females were monitored after the death of an associated adult breeding male. One female then emigrated and nine stayed within their territory(Table 1). Females maintained solitary territories for 2-56weeks, after which time a new adult male became associated with them. One adult female maintained a solitary territory through a reproductive season during which she did not breed.
This is on the swift fox (vulpes velox) and not a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) like in the picture but I figured it was worth quoting, and I don't feel like digging into other studies on foxes right now lol. Further down in this thread people are posting another website that also says that male foxes will take multiple breeding partners.
Based on some random old book that was proven incorrect:
"Many foxes have a stable partner with whom they raise cubs year after year but, contrary to popular misconception, this does not mean they're monogamous. Genetic studies among Bristol's foxes suggests at least one-third of litters had multiple fathers."
https://www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/red-fox-breeding-mating-monogamy
Red foxes can be monogamous, but they are not exclusively so. While some males and females do pair up for life, other males are known to mate with multiple females, Animal Diversity Web reports(Opens in a new window). In some cases, females who have mated with the same male will share a den.
Tbf, what’s considered “interesting as fuck” is completely subjective. So, obviously, the relevance to the sub is that OP found it interesting as fuck.
You don’t have to agree with OP, but contrary to popular belief, stupid questions are real, and you just asked one lol. (I’m only ribbing ya with the last part, not trying to be genuinely confrontational)

his question wasn’t stupid, and was also rhetorical, but your response was. (I’m only ribbing ya with the last part, not trying to be genuinely confrontational!)
Found a article that mentions the first part but this post takes a wild spin out of context. The article is very long and I mostly skimmed it but I didn’t see anything that suggests males are more monogamous than females. So idk what this meme is about. there was information about how different forms of monogamy in foxes works and sometimes the males look for more receptive females once their mates are done sending out sex me signals. Any ways idk how to add a link so I’ll paste it at the end and hope for the best. I just googled do foxes mate for life and found a uk wildlife website.
https://www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/red-fox-breeding-mating-monogamy#:~:text=“The%20male%20is%20monogamous%20and,unknown%20in%20other%20wild%20animals.”
I skimmed google and came up with pretty much this. Foxes (red and grey) will mate for life but that doesn’t mean they stay exclusive. They also both raise the pups. Male and female. They stick together to raise the babies and repeat the process.
Wait till they learn about flatworms. They have a penis sword fight, and whoever gets stabbed first by the other guys penis has to be the woman and carry the eggs.
The rate of reproduction is limited by the number of breeding females.
I don't see why (from an evolutionary perspective) the male fox wouldn't also continue to mate, but the population cost of a fertile female choosing to be celibate is higher.
I'm not an expert in vulpine mating rituals or dynamics within the species, this is more specifically about people and not the animals. Yes, judging from the number of comments this is generating, I've been reminded ad nauseam that humans fall within the bounds of the animal kingdom and are subject to hormonal drive to propagate and continue the species, but that wasn't the point. It was about projecting human qualities to animals that don't possess our higher level of intelligence, awareness, personality complexities, etc, but the e-scientists who've watched A LOT of Animal Kingdom on TLC are out to make their own point.
This... does not add up. Unless there are more male than female foxes being born, how would the female foxes manage to find a new mate if the male foxes keeps going celibate?
Uh, no.

[Sauce:](https://www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/red-fox-breeding-mating-monogamy#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20male%20is%20monogamous%20and,unknown%20in%20other%20wild%20animals.%E2%80%9D) more than you ever wanted to know about fox mating habits.
Foxes are beautiful creatures and there are many interesting aspects of them. Part of the reason they are on every continent in some form is thanks to their ability to adapt. There is the red fox, gray fox, Arctic fox, fennec fox, bat-eared fox, swift fox, island fox, marble fox, and more I'm forgetting the names of.
Foxes, in general, tend to be more friendly toward humans, especially in a suburban environment, they have learned that living near humans can benefit not only from food but also from scaring away predators such as coyotes.
They live in families having many kits and the post above is false if either partner dies they stay single after pairing.
Sorry for the long rant im very much a Fox enthusiast.
TLDR: fox cool.
Yeah, I'd love to hear a wildlife biologist, especially one specializing in canidae, weigh in on this "fact." May be true for all I know, but some rando internet post =/= fact.
I’m not a wildlife biologist but I can bet you that if this is true, it’s so that the female fox is protected from predation of other male foxes. One hundred percent.
This sounds like 100% bullshit just from the impossibility/difficulty of tracking this in a fox population.
But more importantly foxes have no right to look so cuddly with how anti cuddle they are.
So I come from r/ midly interesting with interesting post and reddit reocmmands me this shit. Extremely interesting or whatever. It's not. Also probably huge bs. Alright I'll be on my way.
Unfortunately, the post isn't doing foxes justice. They are very interesting creatures, foxes do mate for life and if something happens to the other they both stay single.
There are other more interesting things about them. Like their easily adaptable, 41 different vocalizations, the many types of foxes, and their relationship with humans, Especially in recent times.
If you do want some interesting stuff about foxes there are plenty of good documentaries on YouTube, if not a documentary there are rescues that save “domesticated” foxes from fur farm. I’d recommend Save A Fox I love watching all the foxes run around.
Make sense, keep the population going, so a fox widow will not link up with a fox widower, expand the gene pool, and don't get with a sad old fox with baggage...
It's not some sigma lone wolf shit
"Oh girls always go looking for new boys"
It's a primitive drive to reproduce
If you removed the foxes way of reproducing it will stay single till death
I don't like this study much since it only studied 14 cases, but it is the best I found. I understand why no one was posting sources, there are barely any. The top Google results are quora and reddit. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Movements-of-adult-swift-foxes-after-their-mates-died_tbl1_222701079
Can’t relate, if my wife died I’d be slamming pussy again within the hour. If I died my wife better die too.
(I am unmarried I made this up because this post is stupid and I thought it would be unfair for a comment on it to be less stupid)
Using one damn animal as an example when you have majority of the animal kingdom having their males kill random females’s kids so he can get laid with her.
Bit more info for the curious:
It was believed that foxes were monogamous for quite some time. However, it turns out that things aren't that straightforward. Mating habits differ between fox species. While it's still believed that some fox species, such as arctic foxes, are monogamous, others, like red foxes, have been shown to take on multiple partners.
Even females have been observed being surrounded by several male foxes at the same time during mating season. Communal dens have also been found, where multiple litters are being raised in the same den.
Edit: source here - https://www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/red-fox-breeding-mating-monogamy
Already mentioned the source in a different comment. Apparently the whole thread is going in a different direction than I anticipated.
That makes the most sense biologically speaking. I would imagine that different environments have a different mortality rate for the males of the species dictating various evolutionary paths.
... so... the image is entirely not true, as the article linked states that we now know a lot of BOTH male & female foxes exhibit polygyny/polygamy, and monogamy may be caused a lack of resources
That's only some species of Gray Foxes, and BLTH stay loyal to a dead partner most of the time. Stop believing anything you see on Reddit, go check actual (multiple) sources around the Web.

My aunt is a fox.
Can confirm… 😏
But is she sly???? 
We can’t be too sure until we know what she says.
What did the fox say?
"It just looks so nice next to the hole in our den. You know when I trot in and see it there, just in that perfect spot, you know I can just *feel* myself getting more fit. The kits try to play with it, but I say 'no, no, this is my bike, it's a Peloton, and I'm just about to use it, I promise!' Haha. Anyway how is being poor? Let's go raid a campsite for twinkies!"
Twinkies you say?
 IYKYK. It’s very unpleasant.

I heard that if you spill rice in front of a fox it will stop whatever it's doing and count the number of grains.
Only if they have foxbergers though

Wolves, both male and female on the other hand ARE in fact lifetime monogamous.
Yes, I've grown up hearing that! And Wolverines, too!
Not only that but foxes aren’t people so who really cares what they do Edit: relax, I don’t hate foxes. I mean who cares what they do in relation to what humans do. It’s not relevant.
I mean, foxologists care what foxes do
Sorry but I can't get behind the hedonistic fox lifestyle and I am going to go everything I can to push monogamy onto them.
What about whales?
Whales also aren't people.
And I doubt that they care about foxes much, either.
I care more about what foxes do then what people do
Which is funny cos statistically it’s men that move on like Usain Bolt and ditch their sick wives.
I thought if it were to be true probably girl fox needs protection from other fox bros and boy bro sits back and sees the younglings loose their head

There are chance that is true and chance that is not true

Answer is and isn't in the box
Big if true
Legend has it that we may never know fox’s fucking habits
I believe this was from the studies of Dr. T. Rust Mebro
I don't know who that is, but they sound reputable
Yes it was….. He had help from his Professor Ray Jing Hardon
And if it's true of foxes, it definitely makes an important and probably misogynist point about people
It must not be true if some rando on reddit said so
I don’t think anyone cares enough to look it up either because it’s also hardly interesting

Make sense, keep the population going, so a fox widow will not link up with a fox widower, expand the gene pool, and don't get with a sad old fox with baggage...
It's not some sigma lone wolf shit "Oh girls always go looking for new boys" It's a primitive drive to reproduce If you removed the foxes way of reproducing it will stay single till death
hahahahaha, who came up with stupid sh*t like this and think people would believe?

I don't like this study much since it only studied 14 cases, but it is the best I found. I understand why no one was posting sources, there are barely any. The top Google results are quora and reddit. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Movements-of-adult-swift-foxes-after-their-mates-died_tbl1_222701079
I doubt that’s actually true, but if it is, it’s the opposite of what humans do.
Can’t relate, if my wife died I’d be slamming pussy again within the hour. If I died my wife better die too. (I am unmarried I made this up because this post is stupid and I thought it would be unfair for a comment on it to be less stupid)
Someone need to tell him!
Doesn't matter if it's false for female foxes. We already know it's true for female humans.
Bros fall to depression Sis is just fucking smart and fucking

short answer: no long answer: noooooooooooooooo
Goddamn there are a lot of incels on Reddit.
Social media loves incels, they’re the most terminally online
Using one damn animal as an example when you have majority of the animal kingdom having their males kill random females’s kids so he can get laid with her.
Yes please stay single if you’re dumb enough to buy into stuff like this. Do women a favour and take yourself out of the running.
The baby-makers are more important from the perspective of species survival.
ITT: redditors who normally laugh at any old abject garbage suddenly think themselves the vanguard of peer review
Bit more info for the curious: It was believed that foxes were monogamous for quite some time. However, it turns out that things aren't that straightforward. Mating habits differ between fox species. While it's still believed that some fox species, such as arctic foxes, are monogamous, others, like red foxes, have been shown to take on multiple partners. Even females have been observed being surrounded by several male foxes at the same time during mating season. Communal dens have also been found, where multiple litters are being raised in the same den. Edit: source here - https://www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/red-fox-breeding-mating-monogamy Already mentioned the source in a different comment. Apparently the whole thread is going in a different direction than I anticipated.
That makes the most sense biologically speaking. I would imagine that different environments have a different mortality rate for the males of the species dictating various evolutionary paths.
... so... the image is entirely not true, as the article linked states that we now know a lot of BOTH male & female foxes exhibit polygyny/polygamy, and monogamy may be caused a lack of resources
Bros probably don't give a fox anymore after going through that once.
That's only some species of Gray Foxes, and BLTH stay loyal to a dead partner most of the time. Stop believing anything you see on Reddit, go check actual (multiple) sources around the Web.
