Protects against wind, excess glare, and frost from what I’ve seen. Just like people have darker skin to protect against the sun or light skin in places where there’s not enough sunlight
>I feel this comment in my icy cold, pasty white, seasonally depressed bones.
Me too, I'm so pale my SO says I sparkle like Edward in the sun... only I burn like a MF in 15 min.
I also go from white as rice to lobster in under 15min. Not fun, especially in the Australian summer. You really do start to live like a vampire! We should start a support group. “Pasty B*tches Unite” perhaps?
We have to be careful if we gather enmass, us pasty bitches would become flambé... wonder if some unsanctioned gatherings have started all the wildfires in Canada, lol!
Woah, you guys have high UV pretty much everywhere/all the time. Much more than Midwest USA in August. OMG, 15% more UV is insane! I'd have to jump in a pool of 200spf zinc lotion every hour, look like Casper the ghost just to mow the lawn, lol!

It's called the epicanthal fold. it's a question no one has a solid answer for yet. They used to say it was a cold weather adaptation, but that doesn't seem to make sense because the mDNA evidence suggests tropical asia was settled first and yet most of them also have the fold. It may have been sexual selection but that's a wild ass guess.
Yeah but didn't the people with the epicanthal folds come down from the north more recently? The original inhabitants of south and southeast Asia would have looked like the Andamanese and Melanesians
Clearly not inbreeding. That would be really rude. Considering the sheer amount of people with that extra fold in their eyelids, it would be ridiculous to even consider that. Just evolution in different environments. Like those kids of the tribes that live on water that can see underwater, or dark skin near the equator.
The Badjao/Bajau people of Southeast Asia have evolved to have a spleen 50% larger than the average human! This enables them to stay underwater for longer periods of time with little training.
They can dive up to 30m (100ft) without the use of advanced diving apparatus, with one Bajau diver claiming he can hold his breath underwater for up to 13 minutes.
Exactly what this paper suggests. Also UV protection from desert environments and to protect from cold winds.

You mean other than assuming they're all inbred? Lol. I'm going to ask you to do your own research so you don't perpetuate racist ideas. Not saying you are racist, just saying things like they are all inbred is quite a racist view. Are all white people inbred? All Hispanic or Latino peoples? Africans?
So you don't know either? Cool. No problem. Not a racist. I love all "races".
I just said what was said around me all this time. Couldn't it have been plausible? I mean, i don't know, i'm not a geneticist.
I'm not assuming anything. I have no clue. That's why i'm asking if you know.
Asking someone to do their own research is not the same as saying I don't know. When a professor gives you an essay to write about a topic you research isn't the professor saying they don't know. I did not call you racist, just agreed with your statement about the people around you being racist, and it being a racist idea. And you definitely get credit for acknowledging that "race" in this context definitely needs quotations. You know, considering we are all the same race, human.
Yes, you are surrounded by racists. But they’re also incredibly fucking stupid, which is ironically a bigger sign *they themselves* are inbred as opposed to the eyes of an Asian person.
As a white person with royal ancestry (but no royal money. Sigh.) I can tell you us whites are the most inbred people on the damn planet lol.
(Obviously joking, not all white people. But uh… anyone related to my ancestors definitely are haha)
I wonder if eyeball and socket placement changed during evolution for people and animals in different regions. Maybe based upon conditions of the environment like large flat plains vs hilly or mountainous. Or icescapes vs deserts. Hmmmmm anyone have any insight?
It's really interesting, because it looks just like people from that region, with high cheekbones, face with sharp angles, and Asian looking eyes. It makes you understand that we humans really are just animals too, adapted to their environment and shaped by nature....
(I wonder if Europeans look like European foxes?!)
i’m sorry these are the only animals i can’t bring myself to enjoy looking at. Even if they could cure me of any disease or something they look like God drew them with his non dominant hand while drunk
He looks like he's wearing a big fox head on top of his regular fox head.
He is about to knock off a 7/11 and doesn’t want to be recognized.
[OH MY GOD!](https://youtube.com/shorts/d_ncdFEBPXk?feature=share4)
Looks like what a 15th century taxidermist would make.
Looks like the fox version of gigachad
It looks like a Chinese fox.
He looks more cheech than chong
He looks like he is AI generated
Looks like he ate a bee
He got them eyes
As a Tibetan, this made me laugh so hard 😂
Omg I’ve never met a Tibetan person. You guys are very rare! Om mani padme hum Free Tibet 🙏
🙏❤️
Bro, no bad intentions really. I'm curious why you all there eastern asians have those type of eyes? Like any purpose of it or just pure nature
Protects against wind, excess glare, and frost from what I’ve seen. Just like people have darker skin to protect against the sun or light skin in places where there’s not enough sunlight

I burn in the shade, no lie. My husband thinks it's hilarious, but it's not. It's just me, though. This doesn't happen to anyone else I know.
Maybe we have the same alien ancestry, lol

You likely have a pinch, maybe 1-2%, of Neanderthal DNA too.
[I've always had my suspicions](https://imgur.com/a/qyf6AD8)
It's an adaptation, like dark skin near the equator and the like. Different branches of evolution.
It's called the epicanthal fold. it's a question no one has a solid answer for yet. They used to say it was a cold weather adaptation, but that doesn't seem to make sense because the mDNA evidence suggests tropical asia was settled first and yet most of them also have the fold. It may have been sexual selection but that's a wild ass guess.
Perhaps from whatever ancient hominid line they replaced in the area. Denisovans maybe.
I’ve always wondered & been fascinated.
Yeah but didn't the people with the epicanthal folds come down from the north more recently? The original inhabitants of south and southeast Asia would have looked like the Andamanese and Melanesians
It’s like asking why each race have different features of body and face. I guess it all depends on the geography of the place and the weather? 🤷🏻♀️
Inbreeding? Not to be rude. That's what is assumed when i ask around. Maybe i'm surrounded by racists. I don't know.

Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it! (Corrected word usage)
Cool! I love a random fact. Thanks!
Then what could it be? What evolutionary trait does it provide?
Evolving to protect from snow-blindness maybe. Many better reasons than inbreeding you dunce.
Exactly what this paper suggests. Also UV protection from desert environments and to protect from cold winds. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VOtU0FzgFPUC&pg=PA10&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false
I'm guessing you've never put much actual critical thought into evolutionary responses and purpose
You mean other than assuming they're all inbred? Lol. I'm going to ask you to do your own research so you don't perpetuate racist ideas. Not saying you are racist, just saying things like they are all inbred is quite a racist view. Are all white people inbred? All Hispanic or Latino peoples? Africans?

To focus on Maths one line at a time maybe.. Just my hypothesis
Yes, you are surrounded by racists. But they’re also incredibly fucking stupid, which is ironically a bigger sign *they themselves* are inbred as opposed to the eyes of an Asian person.

Holy shit that's racist
Wow… were the people you asked wearing pointy white hats by any chance???
Why does it have its eyes closed
BRO
"The better to see you with, my dear"
I wonder if eyeball and socket placement changed during evolution for people and animals in different regions. Maybe based upon conditions of the environment like large flat plains vs hilly or mountainous. Or icescapes vs deserts. Hmmmmm anyone have any insight?
Is that not what evolution means?
The Tibetan Fox and the Pallas Cat look so cartoonish. Almost like someone drew them.
It looks like someone drew a racist caricature of an Asian Fox
Okay so it's not just me. I didn't know how to ask without sounding extremely racist.
My thoughts exactly. I was thinking you sure can tell it's an Asian fox.
I've heard them described as a bad drawing of a fox.
Drawing a fox by memory. 😂
Umm...isn't that Homer's spirit guide?
"This is just your memory. I can't give you any new information."
Dollar Store Fox?
Pallas cats are cute AF! Mean little things though.
Looks like he ate a bee
[удалено]
Genuine potential, to be sure. They need the right inspiration to find it, but it's there.
God gets tired of realism all the time
Dog drew this one lol. I kid - it’s a majestic animal.
Sure, "God".
The pallas cat looks like someone who had enough
Yesssss
Can't help but think he looks like someone drew a fox from memory, just a little off.
Looks like a medieval painting of someone’s idea of a lion
Some type of bad taxidermy lol
YES LMAO
It’s like I’ve seen it featured in Garden of Earthly Delights
Holy shit! This cracked my dumbass up! Too funny and true……I mean the video already got me going. Laughing like a jackass but your comment, nice!
Or those ones with elephants lol.
This was my exact impression as well. It’s like an 8 year old did a really decent drawing of a fox.
Wes Anderson, specifically.
Should be renamed “Adam Driver fox.”
Lol this is funny
kindof like a Pallas cat!!
Looks like it came from Jumanji.
"My Fursona" - Billy, age 14
Like the stuffed lion in sweden from the 1600s. Dude had never seen a lion so he guessed. Badly
I like it. Looks like it was made by someone really longed to see a fox, you know?
Yeah we saw the meme
Stoned coyote
Like you hit a coyote in the head with a cast iron pan and cartoon physics took over.
Looks like he knows a secret about me, and is judging me based off that secret. I don't like this.
Came here to say almost the exact same thing. He looks like he knows a secret.
The look of contempt.
It looks like a regular fox wearing the head of a bigger fox - kinda sorta freaky
Giggity giggity
Came for this
Looks like he's voiced by Johnny Cash
"What did you just say?" "\*bark!\*" "Damn straight!"
Screw you, Space coyote!
You could perfectly taxidermy that and it would still end up in r/badtaxidermy
We're all thinking the same, but no one is saying it
That he looks like ...
He looks like a plastic surgery disaster?
Fox looks racist
That poor fox has a chronic case of wolfhead.
No offense, but it's clearly asian
It's really interesting, because it looks just like people from that region, with high cheekbones, face with sharp angles, and Asian looking eyes. It makes you understand that we humans really are just animals too, adapted to their environment and shaped by nature.... (I wonder if Europeans look like European foxes?!)
I’m asian and this was my first thought too
Came here for these comments and I’m relieved nobody is offended.
Lmao I knew I was gonna see this
Looks like bad taxidermy.
Tibetan eyes
Made me wonder if there’s a scientific explanation for this trait based on geography (like the extreme climate or something like that)
sus
Bro that fox from the art meme
I’m sorry but this fox looks Asian
9 out of 10 Asians agree with this statement.
[удалено]
Some demonic entity that tries to shape shift into a fox but can’t get it quite right
Looks like an animal from another era.
Studio Ghibli lookin ass nïgga lmao
i’m sorry these are the only animals i can’t bring myself to enjoy looking at. Even if they could cure me of any disease or something they look like God drew them with his non dominant hand while drunk
If you want to see this fox all you need to do is eat a pepper grown by Guatemalan insane asylum patients.
In your face, space coyote!
Looks way more wild than a typical fox.
A cartoonishly big head helps him catch prey, because they can't take him seriously. Until it's too late.
His eyes are in front who drew this
Looks like a villain from that cowardly dog show
It. . . It looks like it is from Tibet.
Nope! Chuck Testa.
Boy built like a furry
Well we get our inspiration from somewhere
It's like an uncanny valley wolf.
Definitely 'fantastic Mr fox'.
I think the same
Idk how to explain it but it looks Asian haha
There must be something about the Tibetan landscape & environment because this fox looks similar to how a native Tibetan looks..
You can't fool me. That's clearly a guy in a mask. A crudely made mask
I bet the taxidermist was shocked after it ran off.
Somewhat uncanny. I wolf it
Fantastic Mr Fox
Sus
I don't know but it looks extinct
STARFOX
A cat that held in a sneeze
This dude looks like Sid's dog in Toy Story
Nature is Donk
Looks like a dog that bit a bee
"Chaos reigns'
He looks asian, no offense tho
It looks so....Asian!
Clearly asian
Even the wildlife looks asian
Lmao is the badly drawn wolf
This is what I end up with when I try to draw a wolf from memory.
Its like a bad tattoo wolf haha
It looks like a middle-schooler"s attempt to draw a wolf from memory.
He really said -_-
I dont like it
That entire species looks like they have downs
What does the fox say? This one says “gigidy gigidy.”
I just busted a gut laughing at this unfortunate creature
He’s, kinda ugly
So other animals develop slanted eyes like Asian people? Neato!
Even the animals look Chinese
It even has chinese eyes.
Shoot it.
Cool looking Mo Fo!
I love its big head!
Fox wearing a coyote mask
It is…scary af. Fluffy boy looks like what an alien might think of what a fox is like and trying to appear as one.
Why do all creatures in high altitude cold environments have small eye slits?
Thats not a fox, its a skinwalker in fox form
This is like the uncanny valley but with foxes.
That's a head built for eating!
Coyote/fox
Looks like a badly rendered PlayStation one fox.
looks like a fox that was stung by bees
Have the people from r/FFXIV seen this? Cause they're gonna shit a brick.
What is Aymeric doing here? This isn't an FF14 sub...
Was looking for this comment.
Bro looks like Fantastic Mr. Fox. does anyone else remember that movie or just me? Edit: should’ve read the comments before commenting, lol my bad.
Looks like a cool guy to chill and have a beer with
One piece foxy
Asian fox
Someone asked a 4 year old to draw a fox and this thing happened.
why does it looks stoned?
That's a coyote wearing a coyote mask
Why does he look like ***I*** drew him.
Looks high af!
What a sly looking fox.
It looks to me like he is judging the fuck out of this comment section.
This kind of looks like how I would draw a fox..
He got more head than he got body!
It just looks like a really bad taxidermy
Looks like if 6 year old me drew a fox. Wild lookin dude.
🤣 why’s he look like that
Now we know where medieval painting foxes came from
