The Foxy Golfball Thief

Posted by Miss Cellania in Animal, Crime & Law, Sports on September 21, 2009 at 11:26 am

Tom Houk of Steamboat Springs, Colorado built a putting green in his yard, and got into the habit of leaving his golf balls where they landed until he returned. A few months ago, he woke to find all his golf balls gone! Houk produced more balls, but the next day, they would be gone, too. This continued until Houk finally spotted the thief.

A hairless fox was standing there with one of his golf balls in his mouth.

“We just couldn’t believe it and we thought he just snatched one,” Houk said.

The fox had more than one golf ball in mind.

“He doesn’t just take one ball,” Sally Houk said. “He came back and forth and back and forth until he took all of them.”

Tom Houk thinks the fox has taken nearly 100 of his golf balls.

What does a fox do with a hundred golf balls? Jerry Neal of the Colorado Division of Wildlife thinks he probably plays with them. No word on what size clubs the fox uses. Link -via Arbroath

Dog Hard to Train? Maybe it's a Fox ...

Posted by Alex in Animal on December 23, 2008 at 2:51 am

A Chinese man found out the hard way why his Pomeranian dog was impossible to train: it’s actually a fox!

… he found the dog hard to tame, it would often bite him and had several unusual traits, he told the Wuhan Evening Post.

"It can’t bark but instead makes little ‘em em’ noises, and its tail has been growing longer and longer," he said.

"The most annoying thing is that starting this summer, the dog became very smelly. Even when we gave it a daily shampoo bath, the smell was still strong."

Zhang took his ‘dog’ to a local zoo for answers, and it turned out the dog is actually an Arctic fox, a protected rare species.
