Background- Writing a speculative evolution about the nine-tailed fox and had made twenty species that range in size from cat-sized species from Indonesia to wolf-sized ones in the Carpathian mountains, from all over the globe and live in different habitats from temperate and tropical forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains and even in urban areas for the kitsune.
Question- How can these foxes avoid being species by humans in the same way as cryptids do?
Some do shape-shift in a illusionary way but others can't so how can they stay elusive?
