Right on the Nose 3I1892

Another successful canine species is the fox. The red fox is the largest of the fox species and has an Eurasian origin, having colonized much of the new world during periods of glaciation. Like they coyote, it hunts by scent, sight, and sound. The coloration on this fox was quite astounding. I love the snow left on its nose.

It completes with the Arctic fox in regions where the two cross paths. The red fox usually killing the much smaller Arctic fox. For this reason, the most southerly range of the Arctic fox is generally the most northerly range of the red fox. It will be interesting to see what happens to the Arctic fox as climates change. #RedFox
