Why am I only just finding out about this team ? Fox gets fed, Man gets beautiful picture.... and it doesn’t stop there, Man shares these wonderful encounters with the world. Thankyou so much.
Fox tends to eat in private, away from possible enemies or dangers - while the dog eats rightaway. Dog feels safe in its familiar environment, while fox is nervous and suspitious.
My thoughts exactly the Fox fears for it's life constantly the dog has no fear so the fox has to concentrate in many directions at the same time the doesn't.
Well, this is not good for comparison because the fox is really shy and watching his surrounding. Furthermore he is a gourmet and eats slowly. These intelligent cuties are so suspicious.
as she is from wild nature, she controlled all the part of game manytimes to be sure not to leave some food, and second thing, she is looking and listening around her all the time because of possibility of some danger
Bonjour 🐕 .une très jolie, avec de magnifiques Animaux. J'aime beaucoup les Animaux, à 79 ans je partage la maison 🏠 avec un Adorable Chihuahua de 2 ans . Les Animaux sont merveilleux d ’affection et d’amour. Un grand merci au photographe qui a fait ces merveilleuse vidéo. Toutes mes Amitiés 🐕 💓 💗 🐕
Yes I don't believe the fox is dumber than the dog, it is just way more cautious because it is wild and it knows stories passed down from its ancestors about humans on horseback with packs of dogs perusing foxes to their doom.
The fox didn't lose, the dog did! Time is not all. The fox examinated everything very careful and left some treats over for later oder may be for her pup.
I feel for the fox. Always scared, like a bird, looking around for hidden threats, just like a stray dog. Life is difficult for untamed creatures. I wonder what the animalists would say about this.
@@allasar Right. It just saddens me that creatures should spend their lives in fear. Of course, that's how natural selection works (see the dodo, for example), but it doesn't seem right. Whatever our shortcomings, only we humans have the chance of turning nature around. And don't talk to me about unethical breeding practices: nothing we do to animals compares to being eaten alive by a predator. Cows are essentially helpless, as are sheep and chickens. If it wasn't for humans, they would all have been erased from the face of the Earth.
@@allasar I've heard that argument many times before. I just would point out that: - animals appear to experience pain in much the same way that humans do. As the great, immortal Stanilaw Lem put it, "a sufferer is not someone who gives you his suffering for you to weigh.... A sufferer is someone who behaves like a sufferer!" - I agree, of course, with your appraisal of humans and foxes. It saddens me, however, that such intelligent and beautiful creatures should spend their lives in permanent fear. - Some species only exist because of human intervention: cows, sheep, goats, some species of salmon, most dogs are only alive because humans need then, either economically or emotionally. Should humans stop eating meat or stop having dogs as pets, millions of cosws and dogs would either starve to death or be killed and eaten by stronger predators. - All things considered, humans have given animals a longer, less stressful life than Nature would've afforded them. Remember, before a cow is butchered it is killed. Nature does nor care about such niceties.
Fascinating.... (said Mr. Spock ☺). It raises a number of interesting questions about the differences between the two. Was it because domesticated dogs are more intelligent than wild foxes? Did the fox take more time and pay almost equal attention to the container because it was an unusual object in its environment - hardly any items are bright blue AND translucent AND rigid in nature - while the dog paid barely any because it was used to being surrounded by human plastic stuff? Was it because foxes need to be more inquisitive to survive in the wild, while dogs are known to lose interest in things that don't affect them? Or was it due to some differences between the species in their perception of different colours (or lack thereof) in the spectrum of light?
You are right! And exactly this behavior shows that the fox is much more clever than the dog. By the way, really clever dogs, as for example Boder Collies, do it in the same way...
Yes it does, absolutely. Though clearly there was more food for the fox, and the fox also is not in a comfortable environment being wild. Seems overall to have similar intelligence levels between the two. I'm sure something like a border collie would be noticeably more intelligent if I had to guess
@@allasar - I agree with you absolutely, re' this 'experiment'. I was referring more to the general nature of intelligence. Where speed of thought is definitely a key factor. Though it's far from being the only one. :)
What was the treat? Bits of cheese? Funny how your dog must have had a better sense of smell, as she got all the treats fo fast. The fox, on the other hand, used her teeth and paw in getting the lids off. Very interesting to see the differences. Just subscribed, by the way.
I'd imagine dogs interacting with human families in a complex world encourages them to be intelligent. Having said that some dogs are cleverer than others!
Raccoons are clever and tenacious, but slow and methodical. For the best fun, try squirrels, they're the best. Not terribly interested in animal products, but place a few whole walnuts in a difficult puzzle for hours and entertainment.
I cant understand how anyone can respect dogs own dogs and yet hunt foxes. And yet they do.... Im not against hunting if its for food. But hunting for pleasure, hunting such smart aware creatures, I cant respect the humans that do that
Why am I only just finding out about this team ?
Fox gets fed,
Man gets beautiful picture.... and it doesn’t stop there,
Man shares these wonderful encounters with the world.
Thankyou so much.
Unlike the dog, the fox appears to REALLY enjoy the snack.
I really got the vibe that the fox was actually trying to understand the "thing" she had in front of her.
I have the same feeling, but the fact that he didn't touch the fourth cache leaves me confused
Dog: Ooooo treats! Scoff!
Fox: What trickery is this! I must investigate carefully for the delicious aromas beguile my senses.
Beguile is my new favorite word
@@ryanwalsh5019 Did I hear "Beagle"? Nevermind (dog laughing to himself)
I enjoy watching these videos so much Steve.. so calming and lovely. Thank you so much for caring for this sweet fox.
Fox tends to eat in private, away from possible enemies or dangers - while the dog eats rightaway. Dog feels safe in its familiar environment, while fox is nervous and suspitious.
Rightfully so! Don't trust humans.
*You mean the fox SPITS to make him suspitious?*
My thoughts exactly the Fox fears for it's life constantly the dog has no fear so the fox has to concentrate in many directions at the same time the doesn't.
Really?
The fox is actually just a little slow on the uptake. Lol
I love how the fox didn't just want the treats, but to collect the bits of the puzzle as trinkets as well.
theyre thieving bastards!
J'adore les renards ! 🇫🇷
Fox spent more time intellectualising the situation. She will be publishing papers on this at a later date.
LOL they are sometimes just to clever
🤣 Yes! Exactly! I had to laugh when she carried of the blue piece so she could inspect further.
Probably a democrat
In the Journal of Hidden Cheese!
As more you know people, so much more you like dogs and foxes.
Sooo beautiful!! Gourmet Fox. 🦊 Its so cute how he / she closes his eyes while eating
Très beau ! et surtout très intelligent ! MAGNIFIQUES COULEURS
The fox was uncomfortable with its surrounding so it took it more time, while the dog was more at ease and spend less time looking around
TheNosdivad being cautious takes time away
More important is the second time he encounters puzzle...
yep, foxes are beautiful, the little dog was gorgeous as well..
The next video you'll see the fox setting a table with a little candle
The Fox and Mr Downer eating from different ends of a long spaghetti lol.
🤣🤣🤣 Crack me up!
Yes!!!😂
The foxes have given Mr. Downer's yard a five star review on Yelp!
Her eyes are so beautiful
The dog is just adorable! What a sweet face. I enjoyed watching the differences in how the approached this feeder. Quite interesting.
Animals are the soul of the earth
so great to see , thank you
Smart,fast learner and very delicate to eat...thank-you for such beautiful videos
Well, this is not good for comparison because the fox is really shy and watching his surrounding. Furthermore he is a gourmet and eats slowly. These intelligent cuties are so suspicious.
Mrs Fox is one smart little lady💕
It seems to me that the Fox plays by her own rules! 🌹
Wow that fox has such lovely eyes🦊👌
Barney and Mrs. Fox are a clever pair indeed!
I could watch that fox for hours on end. Animals are so great! Thank you sir for feeding this little creature of God, she is safe with you.
Fox must have stayed up all night. zzzzz, about to close eyes and fall asleep
The fox was like a village guy come to a city for the first time. So, don't underestimate him. Oneday he will conquer this territory.
as she is from wild nature, she controlled all the part of game manytimes to be sure not to leave some food, and second thing, she is looking and listening around her all the time because of possibility of some danger
yea i think its fair to take a few seconds of the fox's time for having to check for danger too
It’s probably because of the fox is scared of something might see him/her, so its take slower than the dog that treated by human with love

Intelligentissima e bellissima 💖
He wants the game pieces. Not paying Monopoly with Mr. Fox❤️❤️❤️❤️
New suscriber from Barcelona. You does a great job with that beauty Fox. mostly feeding him.
Wild animals are cautious! That's why.
Good clean fun. Funny looking cat though.
Clever little Fox face!
Thank you so much for these wonderful encounters. Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia.
So intelligent ahhhh so pretty
Thanks for this vid. Its so amazing to see the different behaviours!!
Thats one clever fox
What a smart fox! ☺️
What a beautiful looking animal,nice video.
Love the quality and content of these fox videos Steve. Keep them coming!👌
Was this the 1st time for the dog and the fox ?.Dogs are used to playing games .Foxes used to caution and survival ,In which case she did well...
Love your wild Fox!
Yes I don't believe the fox is dumber than the dog, it is just way more cautious because it is wild and it knows stories passed down from its ancestors about humans on horseback with packs of dogs perusing foxes to their doom.
It’s 3am, I can’t sleep, and I’m watching a fox lose to a dog in a treat snatching contest.
The fox didn't lose, the dog did! Time is not all. The fox examinated everything very careful and left some treats over for later oder may be for her pup.
1:24 yup...I saw that coming
What a great video! Thank you for filming your encounter with the majestic fox, it's amazing and really wonderful.
He is so cute

Would love to see how long the fox takes the second time.
Really interesting behaviour
Keep up the great wok Steve (ian)
Beautiful animal. Always great filming:)
Look deeply at natue, and will understand, every thing.

enjoyed this so much. so sweet.

Has the dog played this game before, though? Seems an unfair comparison if dog is familiar with what is required to get the food reward.
So intelligent! Love these videos. 🦊🧡
The fox checked every lid to see if it has anything inside of it, not only under it
You are right! And exactly this behavior shows that the fox is much more clever than the dog. By the way, really clever dogs, as for example Boder Collies, do it in the same way...
So she was overthinking it
Interesting and a great shooting 👍
ahhh finally some gud quality content
Let’s hear it for the doooog, let’s hear it for the pooooch!
E' una cosa meravigliosa
But the fox know's how to life cover :D
Nice garden, I want to have one now too
Speed has nothing to do with intelligence. 😉
yes it does
It does. It's not the only factor but it's definitely A factor.
Yes it does, absolutely. Though clearly there was more food for the fox, and the fox also is not in a comfortable environment being wild. Seems overall to have similar intelligence levels between the two. I'm sure something like a border collie would be noticeably more intelligent if I had to guess

Just love your videos.xxx
EXTREME TENDERS!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Good Idea Brother
Could doggie have played the game or similar one before?
No, this was the first time he'd seen it.
I suspect the dog was quicker due to being more familiar with human/plastic objects.
Barney is brilliant!
Me encanta.
Great video
REMATCH!
The dog read the instruction. 00:04
...and for our next trick
we leave the dog and the fox in a forest 50 miles from the nearest human being and come back in 3 weeks to see how they did.
Fox likes toys.
Dogs are used to the nuances of feeble-minded petty human games.
Sorry I laughed so hard at 1:25 🙊😸

I never knew that dogs are more intelligent that foxes. I thought it was the other way around.

This is not a test for intelligence. This is an example for the differences in behavior between fox and dog.
It looks like the domestic animal is smarter and more intuitive then a wild one.
That was interesting.
Muito inteligente👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Fox is intelligent
❤️
lol aww
What doses the fox say?
Que bueno 😀
Raccoons are clever and tenacious, but slow and methodical. For the best fun, try squirrels, they're the best. Not terribly interested in animal products, but place a few whole walnuts in a difficult puzzle for hours and entertainment.
Interesting and fun to watch but, of course, not a valid experiment as there are so many variables.
A very intriguing bit of video. thanks.
Domestic dogs dont need to be aware of outside threaths......foxes do !!!
🦊💜🐶
The dog is more intelligent. Probably because he is not scared.
👍👌✋
the dogs nose is way more sensitive
I cant understand how anyone can respect dogs own dogs and yet hunt foxes. And yet they do....
Im not against hunting if its for food. But hunting for pleasure, hunting such smart aware creatures, I cant respect the humans that do that
