The Tibetan Sand Fox is hilarious. It looks like some sort of cartoon fox that has its proportions drawn completely wrong. It’s head is quite square, or box-shaped even with small, squinty eyes that give it a curious expression.
If you watch this clip form the
from the BBC program Planet Earth you will see that it even stalks its prey in a weird way. It keeps its head stiff while moving its body toward the unsuspecting victim. If that little prairie dog thing were me, I’d probably laugh before realizing I was about to be chomped on, just to kinda go out on a good note ya know?


very cool! has that…kind of…sphinx look…
Tibetan sand fox is watching you!!!
Actually, a lot of predators hunt with this method. I believe it is to keep a steady watch on prey while trying to slink as indiscriminately as possible.
I couldn’t help but smile when I saw this guy. His face makes me giggle. :p
LOL, that is too much. Definitely reminds me of a cartoon, too.
that little prairie dog thing is a pika! i’m pretty positive that the pokemon “pikachu” was named after the little fella! HAHA. poor pika!
Don’t make any jokes with this fox… He probably won’t like it.
why not?
Even the foxes have Chinese eyes. but it is quite a beautiful animal. I hope that it isn’t an endangered species.
jajajajaja yeah so funny, indeed this animal have all the serious expression, in fact this remind me a picture in where appear the Joker with Curious George, and the Joker have knife in George’s throat while he ask it “Why So Serious George?”
Damn! this guy looks so serious, I mean it, what an attitude.
Beautiful fox, I’ like to go there to see such as beautiful animal all those things and trips are which make feel so good specially if I can see that fox.
hello, i think that this post is very good
LMAO these things make me laugh so much he looks SO funny that giant square face omg i want a pet one just to cheer me up because he looks so funny i want to see one of these in real life i hadnt known they even existed until seeing it on planet earth
Okay, that face seriously gives me the creeps. But all animals are beautiful on the inside (except with some humans) and I would love to see it in real life! Thumbs up if you agree with me!
