A field-informed look at the fox beside us

Adele Brand examines the red fox as both a long-standing figure of myth and folklore and a highly adaptable carnivore living alongside people. Drawing on her work studying foxes across four continents, she considers what remains unknown about an animal that is often visible in backyards yet still elusive in its behavior and relationship to humans. The book frames foxes’ success in human-shaped environments as an uneasy continuation of an ancient coexistence, bringing ecology and cultural ideas about cunning into the same conversation.

Brand has studied foxes for twenty years across four continents--from the Yucat
