>Is Zorro the Spanish word for Fox?
>If it is it brings new meaning to the Zorro movies :)
Yes, zorro means fox. IIRC, the stories with the "zorro" character play in southern United States, close to the Mexican border, where at least part of the population speaks Spanish. Or perhaps all of them spoke Spanish there, 100 years ago.
Zorrito is the diminutive (little fox).
There is no separate word for vixen, as there is in English; the vixen is just called "zorra".
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
