The term FOX FOLLOWER can be broken down into two crossword solutions: TROT (4 letters) and TAIL (4 letters). TROT is a type of gait in which a horse moves its legs in diagonal pairs, with the legs on the same side of the body moving together. TAIL is the appendage that hangs from the rear end of an animal, typically used for balance and communication. Together, these two words describe a fox follower, or someone who follows a fox.
