The way you describe nature tells me you don't spend a lot of time in it. Cats and pigeons are pretty common as are female deer in some areas, but foxes certainly aren't. I spend thousands of hours outdoors hunting, fishing, hiking foraging, etc and I see a fox maybe a few times a year and never from very close. I've heard and smelled bears, found tracks and scat, yet still never seen one in the wild. Spooked a moose once in heavy brush and never saw it. You can't really compare those experiences to people traipsing about looking for computer generated creatures. Animals are smart and wary of humans. You aren't just going to stroll into the woods and see a monster buck or a family of fox kits and have them stand still while you photograph them.  Dress it up however you want, it's still a video game. The only reason people are going outside is because the game necessitates it otherwise they'd be sitting on their ass indoors.
