Man named Fox attacked by fox, crashes car
After the Dover man struck a red fox that had dashed in front of his sport utility vehicle last week, he said he thought the animal was dead so he retrieved it from the roadway, planning to cut off its tail for a souvenir, a state wildlife official told Gannett Tennessee.
Fox said the animal regained consciousness in the back seat of his SUV and attacked him, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and flip it over into a ditch.
Records indicated Fox was treated for minor injuries at the scene by Montgomery County, Tenn., paramedics. The fox was found dead in the vehicle, but Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency wildlife officer Dale Grandstaff said it wasn't clear if it had died from the initial collision or from the rollover.
Gannett Tennessee said it was not known if Fox got to keep the fox tail.

Mr. FOX attacked by a real one
He was a REAL STUPIDO one for not making sure the fox was dead, maybe by cutting its throat? And then he could have sliced off its tail, and left the carcass off in the bushes!
