A pioneer in research on the fox

The Icelandic fox is without a doubt one of the most controversial domestic animals. Even though it existed in Iceland before the settlement and is the only terrestrial mammal that has come to Iceland without the help of man; it is not respected for this; as one might believe. The fox can be killed on sight in most places except in Hornstrandir. Few animals in Iceland have as many names as this tough canine mammal which may possible be traced to the fact that people hesitated to utter the devil’s name. The most common words are of course fox (refur) and vixen (tófa) but other exist that are less flattering like laggard and devil (in Icelandic: dratthali, gortanni, lágfóta, melrakki, skaufhali, skolli and vemma)
