As for fox actually exist in Taiwan? the very first fox appears in Taiwan is actually come from the legends of one ethnic group (Saysiyat), the story started in nearby of the(Ngarawan), people called fox(Botol) in there, and the story said one day two foxes come excretion under the cliff, and after that grow out many plants with the grain in the same place, and people bring back some of that grain and start sowing them, that's the origin of millet, and that's how fox and rice have a very special relationship.
According to legend in the age of the Slash and burn, Taiwan actually has traces of fox, they always show up the forest and farmland, especially they like to grab each other some roasted potatoes, and the ethnic group(Rukai) they called fox(Kalailalric)or(Kadawdawmu), and they are the animal cannot be hunting. those very old ethnic group wrote down some writing about Fox, and that also proved fox is existence, but now the fox disappear it become the mystery of the forest forever.
However now Little Fox decision to search for the legends of the Taiwan fox and finish the duty of fox family, maybe one day the fox actually appears in the very deep inside the forest, and they exist all this time.
相傳在日照國度裡, 狐狸是豐收之神的使者, 因為他非常喜歡吃豆皮壽司, 所以豆皮壽司可說已經成為了狐狸的同義詞. 豆皮壽司用日照國度的語言叫做稻荷壽司也叫做狐壽司, 於是「稻荷」與「狐狸」也就連上了關係!!
至於台灣有沒有狐狸呢? 台灣最早出現的狐狸是在賽夏族的神話故事中, 故事在Ngarawan(獅頭驛社)附近流傳, 族人稱狐狸為Botol. 據說有一天來了兩隻狐狸在山崖下大便, 在那個地方就長出了結了許多穀物的植物, 於是族人帶回播種分種, 這就是小米的由來. 如此狐狸與食物、稻米的確有著唯妙的關係.
相傳在刀耕火種的時代台灣確實有狐狸的蹤跡, 他們時常在森林與耕地間活動, 尤其喜歡互相搶食經火燒烤煮過後的地瓜. 魯凱族稱狐狸為Kalailalric或Kadawdawmu, 他們是禁忌的動物不能獵殺. 這些古老民族留下了關於「狐狸」的文字記載, 也就證明了狐狸的存在, 如今狐狸的突然消失也就成為山林中永遠的謎團.
然而為了完成狐狸家族的使命, 小狐決定尋找關於台灣狐狸的神話!! 也許就在某天, 山林深處真的出現了狐狸們, 而且他們一直都存在!!
