The answer is yes, obviously. But hear me out. Her fur is red and those ears are small and fluffy, she just screams out fox to me. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Pretty sure she is what is called a Maned Wolf. Check here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maned_wolf

Yeah I can get that. She does give fox vibes. But foxes tend to be more hyper and super energetic always running around and making noise.

Holo isn’t really like that imo.

She is based on now extinct Japanese Red Wolf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_wolf

It indeed looked more like a fox.

The ears were a design choice for the new anime, to give her a wider range of emotion with the ears

Hm, I can indeed see a fox in her.

I guess the show wouldn't be much different, if it was titled "Kitsune to Koushinryou" (Spice and Fox), at least I wouldn't mind.
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement.

The only actual mistake is her true form not also being brown

But, anyway, there are brown wolves

Quoting myself, she isn’t a brown wolf

She’s a red Wolf, which is an extinct breed

Anyways, just look at her true form if you want to see more or less why her fur is like that

I think her ears and tail and the firm she takes make her look like a attack helicopter actually 😂

@Zarutaku The show would actually be quite different, because wolves being dangerous to humans is an important aspect of the story.

not all wolves are eurpean grey wolves.
"among monsters and humans, there are only two types.
Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice
“Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume
“Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus

@GrimAtrament that's true, but that's not the only thing about her that seems foxy. Her tail, for one, just seems way too fluffy to be a wolf tail. She is also mischievous, an attribute which is usually given to foxes. Her ears are also small and really fluffy, it just doesn't resonate wolf to me.
