How much would a 7 ft. tall fox weigh?

The fox in question has slightly shorter than average legs and is roughly 7 ft. tall when on all fours.

Thanks.

Legit Source has simply multiplied the original weight by the height increase factor - 7 ft being 3.5 times 2 feet therefore the weight increase is 3.5 x 14 = 49. This completely ignores such considerations as square-cube proportion increase (wherein if the surface area of an animal is squared, the volume is cubed resulting in a weight far beyond the mere consideration of height increase) and the resulting physical dimensions required to support the massive increase in body weight. Without getting into the details and even then merely having a tentative estimate, a rough inferred guess can be made.

Foxes are relatively lightly built animals, a 7 ft example is not going to be anywhere near the weight of a bull white rhino (approx. 7 feet to the top of the head). Rather, the 7 foot fox would have the build of a racehorse or moose, the latter approaching 7 foot at the shoulder for bulls. By this comparison, the fox would weigh 1000 - 1500 lbs. Perhaps if Legit Source was to study the square-cube law he would begin to understand how ridiculous a fox 7 feet tall but weighing 49 lbs would look. In fact, no study required, just close your eyes and imagine it - daft...

The average fox weights 14 lbs and is 2 feet tall. Thus a 7' fox would weigh roughly 49 pounds.

Weight doesn't come from height.

The fox in question has slightly shorter than average legs and is roughly 7 ft. tall when on all fours.
