More technical/in-depth science than I was up for. How to Tame a Fox is better.

5.0
Great book on red foxes. For anyone who may have any interest in them this is a recommendation. A book that is to be picked up again, and added to my personal library.
Author does a beautiful job explaining what he has come to observed and learned about the foxes. With the more technical explanations he didn't go over the with them, and do a great job explaining without side tracking too much nor coming off as though the reader is a toddler. His observations are done like one would for learning another culture with respect to them.
He took the time learning about how they hunt. How evolution has played a role in perfecting their skills. Why as a member of the canine species they live solitary and have some of the cat-like features.

juddicted's review against another edition
While this book was fascinating and gave a lot more insight into fox' ecology and some parts of its behavior, I feel like I was looking for something different. A lot of my questions weren't answered with this book.
Still I have to admit the author did a great job explaining ethological methods and interpretation of results. I believe that everyone can understand this book without knowing much about ethology in general.
