What does the fox say?
This is a question that has been asked since the dawn of time and yet we still do not have a definitive answer. There are many theories out there as to what the fox actually says but we may never know for sure.
One theory is that the fox says “yipe yipe yipe yipe yipe.” This theory is based on the fact that foxes are often heard yipping and howling especially during the mating season.
Another theory is that the fox says “gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!” This theory is based on the fact that foxes are known for their cunning and intelligence and this phrase sounds very similar to something a cunning fox would say.
Whatever the fox actually says we may never know for sure. But one thing is for sure: the fox is a very clever animal and we should all be very grateful that it decided to share its wisdom with us through this amazing song.
