Finally i think Foxes are depicted as smart but usually not in a flattering way. They are known as devious thieves because they sneak in and kill small livestock in a cunning way. They aren't pack animals like wolves and coyotes (and not disgusting like coyotes either) and they like to kill live prey while acting alone. They are more like sleazy assassins which has both its good and bad associations with a strong problem solving component but with weak moral character.
