Specialty : hunter


If yesterday, I presented the herring gull as a common bird, here is a common but discreet hunter : the red fox.  Everyone knows him, has seen him on some occasions or has crossed his tracks.  The fox, because of his size, is without a doubt the most widespread terrestrial predator in the world.  His finesse, speed and agility allows him to exploit almost all the different habitats.  Since he’s not very tall and he’s a general hunter, he may live on a varied diet as well as survive a few days without food.  However, in summer, his hunter quality allows him to comeback to the den with his mouth full of small rodents, such as the red squirrels and the chipmunks caught in less than one hour… 
Have a good day.  Louis
