• Answers:

The fox in the poem is described as a young fox. It is depicted as having sharp eyes, a sharp nose, and pointed ears. These features suggest that the fox is alert, cautious, and aware of its surroundings. It is described as poking its head out of its den at night to listen for any danger, sniffing the air for any dangerous smells, and peering from left to right to watch for movements. If it senses it’s safe, it then leaps and creeps across the fields. Based on this description, we can imagine the fox as a small, agile, and curious creature with keen senses.
