The fox hitbox is incorrect
The bug
The fox hitbox is incorrect.
- The hitbox does not correspond to the size of the fox (it is too small in depth and a bit too large in width).
- The red line that normally shows where the fox's eyes are, is not in the right place when the fox is sitting (too low).
- The hitbox does not adapt when the fox sits (it is too small in depth, a bit too large in width and too small in height).

Just a note: depth and width cannot be changed separately on hitboxes, as hitboxes don't rotate along with entities. For that reason a size in between the desired depth and width is selected so that the hitbox is neither overly small, nor overly big; the better result is in between.
