The term fox refers to many species in French, but in the popular imagination, it mainly evokes the Red Fox, the most widely distributed species and the one with which humans are most often confronted. It is found in various legends, fables, folklore and beliefs, as well as in arts and expressions. Depending on the culture and era, the fox is the object of various beliefs. It is sometimes attributed magical powers, but is seen by others as the reincarnation of the devil. Most frequently, the fox is seen as a cunning, flattering and deceitful animal, and it is already described in this way in Greek literature. In Norse mythology, the fox is an animal associated with Loki, the Scandinavian god of mischief and discord. In the mythology, literature and folklore of East Asian countries, the fox spirit is said to be an animal with supernatural abilities, such as metamorphosis, possession, mastery of the elements or the ability to pass from a material to immaterial state, becoming an equal of the deities with immense powers, generally in the form of a nine-tailed fox, which can become a creature sometimes beneficial, sometimes malevolent. In Japan, the fox is associated with Inari, the deity of crops and industry. W
