Stoned Fox, also known as Taxidermy Fox, is a Russian meme that features the image of a taxidermized fox manipulated into various humorous scenarios through Photoshop. This stuffed fox, which appears oddly contorted with a bewildered expression, is set against different backgrounds to create amusing situations. The names 'Stoned Fox' and 'Autistic Fox' derive from the fox's unnatural, seemingly dazed state.
The origin of the Stoned Fox meme traces back to October 4th, 2012, when British artist and taxidermist Adele Morse listed a stuffed fox for auction on eBay. The fox was purchased by someone in Manchester, England for 330 pounds on October 14th. Shortly after the sale, Adele Morse revealed in an interview that she began receiving enthusiastic messages from Russian fans about the unique appearance of the fox.[1]
