Realistic Plastic Red Fox

Another beautifully-detailed replica from our friends at Safari!

Our Plastic Red Fox

This realistic-looking, highly detailed plastic red fox replica or toy is made to look a lot like a real fox with its stunning orange coloring, white face and black legs and other accents. Our plastic fox is 3 1/2 inches from its pointy nose to the end of its brushy tail. It makes for a nice miniature pet, fits into a shoebox diorama, or serves as a great collectible. With all its fine detail and realistic colors, it makes a wonderful educational toy to help your kids or grandkids learn about animals and come to appreciate them for a lifetime. Take a look at our other fox toys and gifts along with various additional members of the dog family.

About Red Foxes

One of Nature's success stories, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) has evolved and spread alongside humanity to nearly every continent. The largest and most successful of the true foxes, red foxes have an incredible ability to adapt to new environments. Because of this, the red fox is the only true fox not listed as endangered anywhere in the world. In fact, in Australia (where the red fox was introduced by humans), the red fox is considered a pest and a threat to indigenous fauna.

Foxy Mosaic

Today I recall the old children's song that says, "Oh, a hunting we will go .. a hunting we will go, we'll catch a fox and put him in a box... and then we'll let him go! " I certainly prefer that the fox receives its freedom, rather than an unfortunate outcome. Also there was an exciting news story this week about the reappearance of the Sierra red fox which was believed to have been extirpated in Northern California. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/greenspace/2010/09/supposedly-extinct-red-fox-discovered-in-yosemite-national-park.html. Tapir and Friends Animal Store has an interesting selection of plastic and stuffed canids (animals of the dog family) for sale. We don't have a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) at this time, but we have a realistic plastic Arctic fox. Please check our store often. Our inventory changes with always new educational, fun, realistic animals.

Red fox pin - nice animal jewelry!

These delightful hand-painted pins (or larger tie tacks) are outstanding. I've posted many of them on this blog, and here's another one: the red fox. It's amazing to me how the artists get such beautiful, lifelike detail on a small pin. Most of the pins measure about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches in the longest direction. They're made in the US, in the state of Washington, originally cast in pewter, which gives them weight and texture, then they're hand painted and finished with a clear, shiny material that makes them extremely durable. Each one has two pins on the back with a pinch clasp. The two pins are used so the fox (or other animal piece) doesn't twist and turn and end up at a weird angle when you attach it to your hat, lapel, tie, scarf, etc. Come check them out on our Web site.

I'll be presenting the whole array of species at Chamber of Commerce After Hours event tomorrow night (Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce in Oregon). This will be interesting, and a new experience for me. It should be fun. We've been online since 1996, but we've only had our store front since a year ago March. I'm looking forward to meeting more of the local business people.
