  Fox
     (Heb. shu'al, a name derived from its digging or burrowing under
     ground), the Vulpes thaleb, or Syrian fox, the only species of
     this animal indigenous to Palestine. It burrows, is silent and
     solitary in its habits, is destructive to vineyards, being a
     plunderer of ripe grapes (Cant. 2:15). The Vulpes Niloticus, or
     Egyptian dog-fox, and the Vulpes vulgaris, or common fox, are
     also found in Palestine.
     
       The proverbial cunning of the fox is alluded to in Ezek. 13:4,
     and in Luke 13:32, where our Lord calls Herod "that fox." In
     Judg. 15:4, 5, the reference is in all probability to the
     jackal. The Hebrew word _shu'al_ through the Persian _schagal_
     becomes our jackal (Canis aureus), so that the word may bear
     that signification here. The reasons for preferring the
     rendering "jackal" are (1) that it is more easily caught than
     the fox; (2) that the fox is shy and suspicious, and flies
     mankind, while the jackal does not; and (3) that foxes are
     difficult, jackals comparatively easy, to treat in the way here
     described. Jackals hunt in large numbers, and are still very
     numerous in Southern Palestine.
