I think means it had almost finished growing up.

Darwin's fox is considered critically endangered because of their small known population of 250 mature individuals as well as their restricted distribution. [32] On the Chilean mainland, the population is limited to Nahuelbuta National Park and the surrounding Valdivian rainforest. [32] Similarly on Chiloé Island, their population is limited to the forests that extend from the southernmost to the northwesternmost part of the island. [32] Though the Nahuelbuta National Park is protected, 90% of the species live on Chiloé Island. [33]One of the greatest religious movements of the 19 thcentury began in the bedroom of two young girls living in a farmhouse in Hydesville, New York. On a late March day in 1848, Margaretta “Maggie” Fox, 14, and Kate, her 11-year-old sister, waylaid a neighbor, eager to share an odd and frightening phenomenon. Every night around bedtime, they said, they heard a series of raps on the walls and furniture—raps that seemed to manifest with a peculiar, otherworldly intelligence. The neighbor, skeptical, came to see for herself, joining the girls in the small chamber they shared with their parents. While Maggie and Kate huddled together on their bed, their mother, Margaret, began the demonstration. The island fox, though considered a near-threatened species throughout the world, is becoming increasingly endangered in its endemic environment of the California Channel Islands. [28] A population on an island is smaller than those on the mainland because of limited resources like space, food and shelter. [29] Island populations are therefore highly susceptible to external threats ranging from introduced predatory species and humans to extreme weather. [29]

Fayetteville: Arkansas Archaeological Survey Press, Fayetteville. 206 p. eds. Start the detective process with size. Vole, shrew and mouse skulls are the size of an adult thumbnail, those of rats and moles are half as long as an index finger, rabbit and squirrel skulls are the length of a thumb, and badger and fox skulls are the size of one or two clenched fists. Litter sizes can vary greatly according to species and environment – the arctic fox, for example, can have up to eleven cubs. VocalizationA very common feature among all colour morphs of foxes is a white tip (or “tag”) to the tail that is noticeable on a cub's tail, even before it is born (by around 46 days into gestation) and, in adult British foxes, covers up to about 10cm (4 in.) of the brush. The tail tip is often larger in North American foxes and, both there and in Europe, northern animals tend to have longer white tips than southern animals. In An Irish Beast Book, James Fairley commented that: Margaret Fox did not seem to consider the date, March 31—April Fool’s Eve—and the possibility that her daughters were frightened not by an unseen presence but by the expected success of their prank. a b c d e f g h i j k l Lloyd, H.G.
