Tool Using Mammals

Not that Fox. His name is Michael...

The foxes around our lair house are beginning to show remarkable intelligence. They steal whisky from my neighbors garage (he tried to blame me - HA!), have begun to use bait and string to catch delicious bunnies, and I even saw them playing cards (I believe the game was canasta) at the park last weekend.

As long as they can be kept as allies, I don't have a problem with this. They are quite resourceful after all. But if they step out of line, even just a little, I'm going to drop the hammer and have them captured and shipped to Delaware.

You just can't be too cautious about tool using mammals with enhanced problem solving skills.
