I've never seen a fox in daily life either. Might as well be the same as a sphinx if that's the bar.

    It's true, your experience is entirely representative of everyone else.

    Wait, have you seen a sphinx? That's cool!

    In all truth, I've probably seen more sphinxes than foxes. There are literally hundreds of them in Egypt, although they are quite small compared to the one near the pyramids in Giza. They also find their way into museums around the world.

    I've only seen one or two foxes, in the wild. A few more in zoos, I suppose.

    I never claimed it was. But I'd bet there are tens of millions of people that have never seen a fox in real life, not even in regular daily life. Even if they live in a region where foxes do live, daily urban life isn't exactly conducive them.

    We live in the suburbs (UK), and our place is lousy with foxes - might be the most common animal you see. On the plus side, the cubs are incredibly cute; but on the downside, "fox romance" is not what you want to be listening to at three in the morning, and our cats go crazy chasing them out of our garden. Could do without them getting into a scrap and causing me some crazy vet's bills.
