What Does The Fox Say? 55 Fox Puns And Jokes For When You're Feeling Sly... As A Fox
If your little one has been going through orange crayons while flipping through our fox coloring pages, you may have a fox superfan on your hands. So it’s no surprise you found yourself on a page full of fox jokes, puns, and sayings — after all, you have to keep your little zoologist entertained. But this is also a fox apologist page. Let’s call a spade a spade: Foxes get a bad rep! They’re known as sneaky liars and always end up on the losing side in morality fables told to children. (For more on those, check out Aesop’s The Fox and The Grapes fable.) But, any connoisseur of fox fun facts will tell you they are actually one of nature’s smartest animals. Foxes are extremely caring parents and are more similar to cats than dogs or wolves. They also hustle for every meal, so there’s that! And since different species of fox live on every continent, many cultures have their own mythology and take on what it means to be “sly as a fox.”
We promise this page was not commissioned by pro-fox lobbyists, but if you’re also a fan of this smart animal, we went ahead and rounded up the best fox jokes, puns, and sayings both you and your kiddo will love.
