Arctic fox hunting
A captive Arctic fox, with its warm white winter coat and bushy tail, in a hunting pose with its nose lowered to the snow and raised paw. The foxes can smell rodents living under the snow and they are their favourite natural prey, but they will also scavenge carcasses and eat pretty much anything in times of food scarcity. I've seen a lot of these foxes in the high arctic where they seem to like hanging around settlements where they have more chance of a scavenged meal.
