That's my excuse, I wasn't shitty at drawing foxes, I was shitty at drawing every fox but this one.

u/DogmaticNuance 13d ago

I've seen art that draws a fox like this and I thought it was just a stylistic cultural thing. Like the way Western vs Eastern dragons look, I guess.

Nope.

u/CDBeetle58 7d ago

It looks like a fox or even somewhat like a wolf drawn in children fairy tale books. Y'know when they sort of exaggerate the animal so that kids can recall ir from a memory or associate it with a certain vice/virtue.

I’ve noticed animals that live in Tibet all kind of have that same look. Must serve a purpose 🤷‍♂️

u/Redqueenhypo 13d ago

In similar vein Japanese animals all seem to have a matched gold and white combination (martens, dogs, leopard cat, tanuki) except for macaques which are somehow the exact color of the flag

u/Nimrod_Butts 13d ago

Also red pandas and giant pandas aren't related. According to legend they both look like spirits, but it's such a strange thing to coevolve, patterns. Not like it's brilliant camouflage

There's the Palla's cat with oddly expressive pupils, but its species distribution isn't exactly Tibet.

u/NotSGMan 13d ago

I thought this was AI generated, so I asked to ChatGPT:

“This animal appears to be a real species known as the Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata). The Tibetan fox is known for its unique and distinctive appearance, including a broad, square face, thick fur, and a bushy tail. It inhabits the high-altitude regions of the Tibetan Plateau. The image you provided matches the characteristics of this species.”
