Which animal is known for its cunning nature in folklore?

flr, Not if you wish to keep a few chickens. This " cunning" and extremely vicious vermin slaughters countless thousands of chickens every year. Almost impossible to keep out they make small scale egg production unviable and make industrial scale operations more likely. There are also numerous attacks on humans - especially the younger, weaker ones.. And the explosion in fox numbers has driven them into the cities, where they also attack humans and also slaughter people's pet cats. A truly nasty example of vermin.

It's good that fox hunting has finally been outlawed in the UK.
