What does the fox stand for in The Little Prince?
The Fox, or le renard in the French version, is a new-found friend to the Prince. He learns a very important lesson from taming and befriending the fox:
It is the time that we take to care for and understand those precious to us that MAKES them precious to us.
For example, you may see a normal boy amongst hundred of others -- he is nothing special to you. However, if you take the time and responsibility of befriending said boy and learning to care for him, he cannot simply be replaced by another.
The Fox teaches us the true value of people and things that we call our own.

1) The red fox have sharp claws that dig their dens and or help to dig into the ground to bury their food. These claws also serve to kill their prey.
2) They have sharp teeth which help them to shred and tear their food, which is meat since they are carnivores.
3) Their long legs (compared to body and head size) are good for running quickly while chasing prey.
4) When being chased the red fox will vomit so that they can run faster. By vomiting they empty their stomachs which make them lighter and more agile.
5) They have a very good sense of hearing, smell, and sight, which warns them if danger is coming.
What US nickel is worth a lot of money?
Many older US nickels can be worth $1000 or more depending on their condition, including most shield and Liberty nickels along with a few buffalo nickels with minting errors.
However you're probably thinking of the absolute champion, the iconic 1913 Liberty Head nickel. Only five of these coins were minted, and auction prices have been from one to over five million dollars.

In early 1913 design work for the new Indian Head nickel was behind schedule so the Mint had 1913-dated Liberty Head dies prepared as a stopgap, but didn't authorize their use pending a draw-down of existing stocks of 1912 and earlier nickels. During that hiatus a few Mint employees surreptitiously used the new dies to strike five coins with the 1913 date.
Because the coins were made on Mint premises by Mint employees using official dies, they're considered to be unauthorized strikes rather than counterfeits or patterns. Regardless of terminology the five 1913 Liberty Head nickels rank with the 1804 dollar and 1933 double-eagle as classic American rarities.

The fox had something white in his mouth and let it go when only his nose was above the surface, then climbed out on the opposite back, shook himself and took off. My Dad fished the white thing out and discovered it was a piece of sheep's wool and it was alive with fleas... Clever fox!

The gray fox mates in February or March, bearing young in April or May -- a gestation period of about 51 days. The 3 to 7 pups are dark brown in color; they are born blind and remain so for about 10 days. The young venture out of the den after about 5 weeks, and are usually weaned by 10 weeks. The father provides food for the entire family during this period. The family remains together until late fall, then separates. All foxes generally remain solitary throughout the winter.
