Meaning

This proverb illustrates the distinction between the nature or origin of people/things and their typical environment. A fox is characteristic of wild, rural areas, while a deer (or gazelle) is often found closer to human settlements. It implies that certain individuals or things belong to specific environments or social circles, and their identity is often tied to their origin or upbringing.
