Very cool video of a fox hunting in the snow at Yellowstone.

Am I dense? I couldn't tell what it got! Fish? Small rodent?

That is so neat! I've seen that before and I always wondered how the fox doesn't hurt its neck by diving head first into the snow like that.

Where I live, for the last three nights I've heard a red fox barking/screaming---apparently this is something they do during the breeding season. I've had the good luck to look out my window and see one trotting down to the beach. :-) I guess humans aren't the only ones who think beaches are romantic.

Very cool indeed!

If there's one thing the BBC excels at, it's nature docs.

I watched this when it was on BBC1 - if you ever get a chance to watch the series, I can highly recommend it! It's stunning!

That fox is great - amazing camera work too! Poor rodent, though!

That fox is cute! The head tilts, the slow creep, the GIANT pounce!!! Thanks for posting this!

Ah, rodents... nature's potato chips... :(

*Loved* the head tilt, too!

SOmehow foxes and beaches don't seem like a mix, but I'm sure they're everywhere...

*Squeak* Small now ex-rodent.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup.

It's a small sandy New England beach ringed by a suburban neighborhood....foxes are everywhere here. I've seen them foraging along the high tide line in the racks of seaweed, and also one who almost caught a duck floating in the shallows.

There's a nearby state park (along a very rocky part of the shoreline), where the foxes are so accustomed to people they completely ignore us. One time at dusk we watched a fox catching these big brown beetles as they were rising from the grass into the air---it was a riot!

Love the face plant right into the snow
