Voss is the word for fox in Low German.

The fox is a smaller predator with reddish-brown fur, a pointed snout, large pointed ears, and a bushy tail.

A fox can also be a clever person in a figurative sense (cunning fox), based on the fable of Reineke Fuchs (Reynard the Fox).

In European mythology, the fox is one of the symbolic animals of the Greek god Dionysus.

In Japan, the fox (kitsune) also plays an important role in mythology. Foxes are the sacred animals of the deity Inari and are considered good luck charms with supernatural powers.
