A muddy Fox.
Red Fox _ Vulpes Vulpes

When fox-hunting with dogs was legal in this country, ( which was not so very long ago), what let the fox down was the fact that as it’s brush (or tail) collected more mud and detritus in the course of the chase it tired and slowed down the fox and enabled the hounds to run it down, so that the red coated “gentlemen” of the hunt could allow them to tear it to pieces.
As Oscar Wilde put it, “ the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.”
I’m pleased to say that many a wily fox outsmarted it’s pursuers, and spoiled a “good day’s hunting.”
