Social Intelligence
Young foxes, or kits, scamper in a cage in Siberia, Russia, where they are part of a 45-year research project to domesticate foxes. Each generation has been selectively bred for tameness—fearlessness and nonaggression toward humans. By now the foxes in the project behave like pet dogs, barking and wagging their tails at humans.

Also like pet dogs, the domesticated foxes can "read" human cues (pointing, for example) much better than their wild cousins or even tame chimpanzees. These highly intelligent creatures learn rapidly, a sign of advanced social intelligence.

These are the animals that Princess Anne, royal parasite, lover of cuddly wild life, hunts down on horseback with a pack of hounds racing to rip the living fox apart. It's called "sport" Tally- ho!
