Vulpes vulpes a native species to (Blah-blah-hoogah-hoogah)
Recognizable by its reddish-orange coat, black legs
 and white-tipped bushy tail. The fox who's
diet consist of insects, mice and rabbits, they often labor
so that you don't have to. They are a friend when one doesn't
own a chicken coop. Then they are a menace and cost farmers
profit.

In-betweens
-----------------
Coturnix quail a small wild chicken like creature.
Small, plump, round birds with mottled brown, 
white, and black feathers the Northern Bobwhite
native too : to (Blah-Blah-Hoogah-Hoogah) they
get there name from there loud whistle that
 sounds like they are saying "bob-white!". They Live in
"coveys." You can find them hiding in brushy fields,
 forest edges where they will dine on mealworms,
 crickets, and grubs.

Anticipation
---------------------
A fox stalking a quail is a masterclass in patience
 and stealth. The fox uses tall grass to hide.
 It moves slowly and freezes often.
 It aims to get close enough to pounce.
The quail relies on its keen eyes to spot danger
 and might burst into sudden flight to escape.
