Step 1: Find all the creases

Erm, it's much easier to fold a crittur if you have the actual diagram (i.e. folding instructions) rather than just a crease pattern. Experienced folders (of which I cannae really say I'm one)can sometimes deduce the order of operations from a crease pattern, but it's a little like cryptanalysis. You need to know what structures do what. Does the model have a name or an designer's name or or both (like Kawahata Elephant ferinstance)? Do a search on google and include the word DIAGRAM as a keyword. I found the diagram for the above example by just that method (talk about lucky). Alternatively, here is an origami database site that can tell you where many diagrams are published:

Or maybe some expert folder will take up your challenge for the heck of it.

It's a nine-tail fox, by Go Guspath. He has diagrams for a lot of other things, but not this one as far as I know. You can see more of his work at passionorigami.com

According to the crease pattern, it looks like this fox is made out of box pleating. Box pleating does origami based on a box grid. You make the folds, or pleats, based on this box grid, thus the title box pleating. At least that's how I thought it worked itself out.

It looks like this one is on a 16 by 16 box grid, without looking at the enlarged picture. If you get used to other creatures by Go Guspath, then you may be able to figure out some of the signature folds used in this one as well. From personal experience, someone posted a finished lion and a cp on how to get to the base for it, and once I got it to collapse, it reminded me of a fox I've created by the same creator. It happened to all be by Robert Lang. The fold was used to create the body and tail of a fox in the diagram in Origami Zoo, and the body and tail of the lion in the cp.
