De vos leeft in monogamie vertelde de directeur, en kiest zijn echtgenoote voor het leven; er bestaat vaak een aandoenlijke gehechtheid tusschen beiden, wat niet weg neemt, dat het eens gebeurt was, dat een vosrekel in een kwade l[uim?] zijn echtgenoote den strot had afgebeten.

The fox lives in monomogamy, the director told, and chooses his female partner for live; there often exists a moving attachment between both, which doesn't prevent that it sometimes happens that a male fox in a bad mood had bitten his female partner's throat off.
