Do foxes stink? This is a question that I get asked a lot and it’s one that I’m not really sure how to answer. I mean I’ve never really gotten close enough to a fox to get a good sniff so I can’t say for sure. And I don’t want to go around sniffing foxes because that would just be weird.
But from what I can tell foxes don’t seem to have the same kind of strong musky smell that other animals do. I’ve heard people say that they smell like skunks but I’m not sure if that’s just because skunks are the only other animals that most people know that have a strong scent.
So do foxes stink? I’m not really sure. But if they do it’s probably not as bad as other animals.
