Foxes (? Fox's

I find it so interesting the different meanings that are attributed to animals and plants (floriography) from multiple cultures around the world, it is so interesting how different or similar it can be from so many different areas.

I like it how different species can be used to convey messages, although I haven't used it myself (but I think I will at some point). In my culture the fox's main characteristics is cunning and we even have a saying "to have the fox's tail under your arm". That means you're doing or saying something nice to somebody in order to profit yourself.
