This video showcasing a wild red fox hunting in thick snow is utterly captivating! The way it senses and seizes mice hidden under 3 feet of snow is beyond impressive.
As elaborated by the narrator in the video, the red fox locates field mice buried deep beneath the snow using its acute hearing and the magnetic field of the North Pole!
Scientists theorize that foxes can tune into the earth’s magnetic field, much like a navigation system, to plan their hunting trajectory. They also found that foxes hunting in alignment with the northern axis are significantly more successful in capturing their prey than when they face other directions!
This is indeed extraordinary. It indeed deepens my admiration for this cunning creature!
