Thanks to Aesop, who used animal stereotypes for his tales, the fox is assumed to be cunning and sly. But it's not always so.
We knew it! Foxes are smart enough to use their own stereotype to get what they want! Yeah, there's nothing more cunning than getting a friend to distract your mark. Then again, there might be no collaboration at all, just a cunning fox taking advantage of a situation, considering how his friend is.
The fox doesn't always come out on top. Another comic suggests that a rabbit's tears are enough to bring its downfall. I never thought of a moose as the king of the forest, but when you're that big and wear a crown, the responsibility just follows you, I guess. The rabbits will certainly revere the moose now, although it's their buddy bunny with the ability to cry on demand that they really should show their respect to. That's a sly and cunning rabbit.
