This pair of red foxes spent a lot of time just outside my studio this past winter. They'd make forms in the snow, and sleep through the day with their tails covering their noses. In the late afternoon, they'd wake, shake off the snow, and begin to hunt in the deep snow. They can hear voles running in tunnels under the snow, and they dive into the snow to try to reach them - remarkably successfully. Red foxes come in two color phases - the typical red, and also black. The male of this pair was a very untypical blend of those two phases, sometimes called a "cross fox" - he was black with a mixture of some of the reddish fur. Several times, I watched them after they'd roused to somehow silently agree where they were going to go, and what they were going to do, with only looks.
