I was watching 'Growing Up' on Animal planet today.
There was this lady who had foxes for pets.
There was this lady who had foxes for pets.
There were six new pups in the pack that were kept away from the others for a couple of months.
Finally, it was the day to mix up with the rest of the pack- adults!- Two females- The mother of the pups- and an aggressive, violent she fox- Rosslyn!
Quite predictably, Rosslyn (pseudo?) charged at the puppies.
Not to kill really...Just to make sure that she would still be the boss.
She bit and snarled and scared the poor kids away.
And then... the pups did the most beautiful thing!
They started licking her.
They licked her wet mouth and her black nose and her entire face.
Now... I don't know how to put this in words.
But from then on... Rosslyn was like their mother.
Of course, all of them grew up to be wild beasts.
But what these wild beasts did to another wild beast was one of the most beautiful things nature allows.
