<p>In the manga <em>Noblesse</em>, wolves' main attribute is their regenerative abilities (like Wolverine). Same with Ban (fox) from <em>Nanatsu no Taizai</em>.</p>

<p>Are there some explanation on why fox or wolves are associated with healing or regeneration abilities?</p>

a note about tags: usually tags are used for large topics or something that could have people knowledgeable about it in the context of the site's topic. There aren't any "regeneration" specialists on the site. The closest thing to that would be biologists on [Biology.SE]. And Wolverine anime has nothing to do with this question coz it's a whole other creature.

Foxes, wolves, and wolverines are three entirely different kinds of animals.

Might be worth noting Wolverine's name doesn't have to do with his healing ability or even his claws but that he's short (which is largely lost since Hugh Jackman is much taller (6'2) than Wolverine's canonical 5'3) but a ferocious fighter with a short fuse

Are there some explanation on why fox or wolves are associated with healing or regeneration abilities?
