"The" can be used as classification. It can also be used before adjective like 'poor' or 'rich'; thus, 'the poor' and 'the rich', meaning all people who are poor/rich.
For animals, we can either say "A fox is a cunning animal' or 'The fox is a cunning animal'.

Moreoever, you must use some determiner before any SINGULAR COUNTABLE NOUN as you've mentioned above.
