The limping fox

[Cowperson]

No, we're not talking FOX network here but a little fox in BC who was injured, helped by campers, then came back with another injured friend looking for the same deal.

Cute story if nothing else.

hehe, suckers. What they don't realize is that the second fox is just faking the injury to get a handout.

Could be true, I've seen pigeons that have learned that if they walk around holding a leg up (limp) they get free food...

I read a similar story (I think in Reader's Digest) where a fox was waiting on the edge of an off ramp. A drive approached and noticed the fox staring intently at her. She found it odd so circled back and took the same off ramp to find the same fox staring at her. She got out of the car and approached the fox. The little fox led her into the brush where another fox was caught in the trap. She released the fox. The other fox licked her on the hand and both trotted off.

I thought it was a nice little story.
