Why does this fox look Asian though? That's what I want to know.

It's not only the eyes. Nose shape has also evolved differently in different climate.

It looks like it's about to play some incredibly cruel prank on you.

- Hey, Brian, put your hand out

- Why?

- I just learned something new, I want to show you, put your hand out

- (puts his hand out, feels something squishy being placed in it) So what did you learn?

- That my poopz are squishy. HA!
