Does AJ Have A New Mascot!?

Hello my compadres!
Oh my gosh, I spelled compadres right on my first try! OH YEAH!!!!
Eheheh....sorry about that.

Man, it's been quite a while since I've actually posted about Animal Jam, huh? Or posted AT ALL, other than the occasional (I SPELLED THAT WORD RIGHT TOO YAS!!!) reminder about JM.
Well, to be honest, I wasn't planning on posting today, either. However, something caught my eye while I was listening to a song on YouTube.

I noticed a video on the side called "New 2017 Animal Jam Commercial!", and it was posted on Animal Jam's official YouTube account! So I decided to take a look. It actually wasn't too bad, despite the cheesy lady's voice that might scare children away rather than attract them. But hey, if that's how AJ wants to advertise, that's their business, not mine.

Anyway, as I watched the commercial, I took a few screenshots that would make some pretty cute screensavers!

Rather cute, if I do say so myself! But there's something in common about all these pictures; and no, it's not "they're all about Animal Jam". 

It's that fox.

That lavender-and-cream-colored fox, with the gizmo pattern, and a white dot pattern that goes by its unusual eyes, ones that you can't get in AJ.

It's appearing EVERYWHERE!

It, or rather, she, is always plastered on the side of the AJ toy den playsets. She's also been included in a special summer home screen background, one that you could only see by clicking an AJ ad. I would show you a pic of it, but...you know...computer issues. And, if you look closely at the fox that comes with the Princess Den playset, you'll notice that the colors match this fox's colors to a tee. The only things it doesn't have are the pattern and the correct eyes/eye color, but I'm sure AJ had their reasons. 

And now, she's the main animal in this new ad.

So, what does this mysterious fox mean? I was thinking that it could be Amelia, the fox Alpha, since her true colors have never been revealed as far as I know, but Amelia wears hoop earrings, and I've never seen this fox with any earrings on.

So does this mean that AJ is trying to make this purple fox their new mascot? 

Now, I'm not saying that this fox will replace the traditional ladybug mascot. I doubt AJHQ would do that. It's too well-known to get rid of now. However, the ladybug IS quite small, and it resembles the pet ladybugs. The fox is a true animal avatar. Well, with a few changes, of course. But we all know AJHQ. If you've ever visited their seasonal dens on the Epic Dens list, you'll see that they LOVE to put unreleased items all over just to make us jealous.

 Okay, so that last part might not be true, but the first part is.

Still, they might have done the same with this fox. Or, maybe they just didn't want anyone to copy it on Animal Jam, for some...odd reason. Now that I think about it, isn't it the same for the ladybug? I don't think you can make a pet ladybug's body shape the correct shape of the mascot one. 

I'm not exactly sure what this fox is truly meant for, but it's possible that my theory COULD be correct. COULD BE. 

But this all just might be a coincidence. We won't know for a while, and we might not ever know. Still, it's fun to make up theories!

I hope you all enjoyed this post! I must say, I'm quite happy to be beating Julian2 to this! XD!

Until next time, remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON!!!!!!!!!!!
