Well it's happened agian, I've been confused for an arctic fox. It's a more common event that Ive gotten pretty much used to, although I still don't know how to counter the confusion. After all, I'm a poofy white ball of Kitsune, with blue eyes, it sounds like a standard arctic fox, but I'm a red fox, an albino variation in color, not a true albino as my eyes are blue and nose black, even though i have pink pads and skin. The type of albino variant is a real occurance, mostly seen in housecats and rodents, although the housecats tend to have bad vision, or are blind, thankfully I'm perfectly able to see. It's not somethign easy to counter as I lack the markings that make a red fox easy to distenciush, and if I get a fursuit for whatever reason, or even where my new white fox tail, people will think I'm an arctic. Maybe I just need a Tshirt for conventions that says "I'm a red fox! Not an arctic." Although that won't help me otherwise, especially since I hate wearing clothing as a non-anthro, those little doggy tshirts make me cringe. Anyone have any ideas maybe?
In other random news, I figured out the ratio of tail length on a fox to body size for an anthro fox. Essentially the tail would be 57.143% of total body length/height or around 58% for slightly longer tail. As an example, a 5'10" anthro fox would have a 45.7144 inch tail, or around 46 inches, essentially almost four feet long. Quiet a big tail, and you might think it would be too long, and drag on the ground, but a normal fox's tail would as well, they just tend to hold it straight out most of the time, unless using it for communication or display. I just had an urge to figure out the ration last night, and figured somebody might find it useful, or at least amusing.
Oh, and I figured my tails would be around three and three quarters to four foot long each, give or take a few inches, I don't have any set measurments on my form since it's rather hard to get that from one's spirit, but I'm roughly wolf sized, or small wolf sized, and I have longer then normal tails, so that's a rough estimate.
