Foxes & Cats 		Body Language 

Vulpine body language is quite similar to that of canids in many ways, both animals tend to use the position of their tail, ears, mouth, and body to convey meaning.
Erect ears and a raised tail are signs of a confident or dominant fox, while flattened ears, a lowered tail, and a crouched position close to the ground indicate submission. Dogs and foxes exhibit the same "let's play posture" - a lowered body with erect ears, a raised rump and tail. They also exhibit similar begging behaviour where pups and cubs will nip at their parents mouths for food. The colouring of foxes, particularly the black and white ears and the white tail tag, have evolved to make these displays more visible under poor light conditions.
