FOXES!

Foxes are part of a large family called Canidae, which includes wolves, coyotes, and domestic dogs. They all have long snouts, but unlike most other canines, you'll find a little cat in every fox. With a light frame and thin legs, foxes maintain excellent balance. Just like their feline counterparts, they gracefully stalk and pounce their prey, using agile paws to pin it, even in deep snow. It's a lucky mouse that escapes the accuracy of a fox.

Capturing prey requires a combination of sharp senses, instinct and experience. Keeping the nose low to the ground, and ears erect, a fox prefers to search through "edge" territory, where forest and field habitats overlap. There, many opportunities exist to pounce a meal. Foxes are also keen scavengers. In the wild, they might sneak off with the remains of a fish caught by an eagle, or be bold enough to steal scraps from a wolf or polar bear. They also find new opportunities around human dwellings.
