"Dare Dare", Quick Analysis of a Work of Art:
The fox is an animal that lives in our countryside as well as on the edges of our cities. It knows perfectly how to adapt and takes advantage of all the favorable opportunities of shelter and cover to establish itself and to found a family.
It plays an essential role in the food chain and is very useful for farmers. It has the reputation of a chicken thief because it knows better than any other, sneak into the hen houses to take easy prayers.
But in fact, the fox is an opportunist who feeds mainly on small voles and field mice. In case of shortage, it does not disdain insects, frogs, dead fish, bird eggs or even some fruits.
There is nothing more beautiful than to see this little redhead chasing a few rodents in the sunset. In a freshly mowed meadow, one summer evening, the fox is multitasking. Ears forward, he detects the slightest suspicious noise. Then, once his prey is spotted, he jumps on it with joined paws and seizes it with vivacity.
Goupil had been taken in as a fox by caring people. When he became an adult, his adoptive parents entrusted him to the Parc Animalier de Gramat where the foxes take a nap in the trees! Too much impregnated by the man, Goupil could not find his freedom of wild animal. He loves humans.
