Sorry for not citing my fox/rabbit scenario; I am the author in question... I was basing my tale on observations made by some European ethologist/semiotician. The signals given by animals as they navigate the "umwelt". I read Uexkull, Kalevi Kull, Jesper Hoffmeyer, and Thomas Sebeok, among others.

Somewhere was the description in question. The author said that he had something like 10,000 hours of observation.

Sorry for not citing my sources. I'll try to be more precise in note-taking.

But it was a thrill that someone read my website!
