  The Legendary Dartmoor Fox
It was always said that the moorland foxes tended to be distinguishable from their lowland relatives by the fact that they were larger, longer legged and had darker fur but this does not apply on Dartmoor.
It was thought that the French foxes bred with the local ones and eventually the foxes of the southern moor became smaller and redder than those of the northern moor, the southern moor foxes were often known as 'French Foxes'.
The foxes tend to live out in the open on the high moor and will often be found in the dense rock fields and clitters where they make their homes.

 Fox Tor mire
Fox Tor Mire is famous for being the atmospheric place that probably inspired Conan Doyle to write about the Hound of the Baskervilles.
This cross was vandalised by the original builder (Thomas Windeatt of Totnes) of Fox Tor Farm in 1812, but largely repaired by 1885.
On the horizon appears the scarred trench of Fox Tor Gert which was dug out by tinners a long ago.

 The Tors of Dartmoor
The majority of tors consist of granite however there are some on the moor edges that are of greenstone, elvan, and quartz-schorl.
The joints tend to follow the topography of the surrounding land insomuch as on the hilltop tors the joints run horizontally and in the valley tors they may be inclined.
Today the tors bring in the visitors who along with many of the locals always have an irresistible urge to climb on top of a granite outcrop and stand and stare as if it was they had conquered their personal 'Everest'.

 Kij Johnson: The Fox Woman quotes
Set in medieval Japan and based on traditional kitsune (fox wife) legends, it's a sensual, poetic tale recounted in the form of "pillow books" (diaries) narrated by the three main characters: a nobleman, the kitsune obsessed with him, and the the nobleman's wife.
Alternating narrative point-of-view between Kitsune, a young female fox who falls in love with Japanese nobleman Kaya no Yoshifuji; the nobleman himself; and his long-suffering wife, Shikujo, Johnson poignantly explores the tangled web in which the lives of the three characters are bound.
When Kaya fails to get a spring court appointment, he and his family retire to their country estate, where he suffers from severe depression and the sense that he is trapped in a drab existence.

 The SF Site Featured Review: The Fox Woman
This isn't simply the tale of a fox falling in love with a Japanese man, as some reviews may have suggested, nor only a man falling in love with a fox, but also the wife that was caught in between and the taboos that have forced them into this situation.
The laws of society that have followed him home in the form of Shikujo and her serving women is almost unbearable; nor can Shikujo fathom her husband's unconventional behavior toward things of the wild though she must pretend that it is proper and respond correctly.
Kitsune, for instance, "demands" and the grandfather fox pounces on her for it.

This is a wonderfully poetic novel that is told in diary format from three sources; the fox girl, the man she loves, and his wife.
The fox starts out as a just a fox, but gradually she not only physically morphs into a human, but becomes one mentally and emotionally.

 Fox - Asian fox spirits in the West
Most Westerners first meet foxes through translated folktales, whether in collections of tales from particular countries or in children's books adapted from classic stories.
The result is an original, nuanced take on the fox which illuminates the classic Buddhist belief in foxes' animality.
They are now so common in roleplaying games that teenagers are almost as likely to have discovered fox spirits through games as through translated folktales.

 NFL on FOX   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The NFL on FOX theme song used since its inception was composed by Scott Schreer, Reed Hays and Phil Garrod of a New York, New York, recording studio company called NJJ Productions (NJJ stands for Not Just Jingles) which was acquired by Bertelsmann.
HistoryThough Fox was growing rapidly as a network, and had established itself as a presence, it was still not considered a major competitor to the "big three" broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC).
Fox management, having seen the critical role that sports programming (football programming in particular) had played in the growth of satellite service BSkyB, believed that sports, and specifically professional football, would be the engine that would make Fox a major network the quickest.
