Angler-Fox
Angler-Fox are a fictional species of fox created by Angela "Sono" Long (Sono Eliane Anderson-Kei) with an angler-light hanging from the end of their tail. They were initially created as a gift to her boyfriend, Suri, and she commonly depicts him as a blue and green angler-fox.
The only other known angler-fox depicted was a teal and purple angler fox drawn for the first round of WTFolio.
Angler Fox Species Profile
Species Name: Angler Fox (Vulpes Cousei)
Height: 40-45 in(Female)/45-50 in(Male)
Weight: 25-30 lbs(Female)/30-35 lbs(Male)
Lifespan: 50-75 years
Location: Thick woods, caves, or any other location that is consistently dark.
Social Structure: Angler foxes generally live in small family groups, "clans", of 2-6. Clans generally consist of a pair of angler fox mates, but in areas where general food supply is scarce, they may band together to capture bigger prey.
Behavior: Angler foxes are primarily solitary creatures, and do not have a social hierarchy. In the rare case of a larger clan of angler foxes, the eldest members of the clan generally lead the others in decision making, and do most of the raising of kits, while younger members lead the hunting party.
Communication: Angler foxes communicate through a series of yips and barks. They are not capable of learning human language.
Diet: The common diet of an angler fox is berries and other plants, insects, and small mammals such as rodents and birds. In areas where such foods are scarce they may hunt larger game such as deer.
Birth: Angler foxes give live birth, generally 2-3 kits in a litter. Kits are born with their eyes closed, and with a short, downy coat of fur which will be shed and allow for a full coat to grow in after 6-8 weeks.
Subspecies: Mained angler foxes, Short-haired angler foxes, Royal angler foxes
Appearance: The body structure is very similar to the common red fox (Vulpes Vuples). From it's tail dangles a structure capable of generating its own light, much like the light on an angler fish's head, and used for much the same purpose -- catching prey. They have abnormally large ears so as to catch low echoing sounds, or buzzing sounds, from their prey.
