A fox is one of the most cunning, agile and wary wild animals. It hunts mainly in the daytime, but can easily chase after a prey at night. Thе red predator has an ability to see in low light conditions. And its flexible ears catch the slightest rustle made by a hare or a mouse.
To run away from the fox is not a simple task for a small rodent. This experienced hunter is very swift. Sometimes it moves at a speed up to 48 kilometers per hour. A fox’s bushy tail became a symbol of hunting luck.
It is well-known that foxes are close relatives of dogs and wolves. But red cheaters also bear traits of cats. They сan draw in their claws. Besides foxes have vertical pupils while other dogs have round ones. But a gray fox keeps the greatest resemblance to cats. It’s the only one fox able to climb trees
The fox is not the rarest animal of the territory of Russia. But one of its many species, the fox-fire, nicknamed so for its bright red color without a light ripple on the back and sides, has so far been little studied. He was identified in a separate subspecies of the Anadyr fox (Vulpes vulpes beringiana) in the place of production on the Asian coast of the Bering Strait in 1875, the famous Russian zoologist Alexander Middendorf. You can meet this red beast in Chukotka, Anadyr, Kuril Islands, Sakhalin.
