Description
Incredibly cute Polar / arctic fox (alopex lagopus, liska polarni, pesec) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic

NEWEST PHOTO ----------------->

Story of the photo and title: me and *Allerlei wanted to photograph baby foxes, but we were unlucky the first day. When we got to the foxes next day, no animal was active. But then I spotted two sweets on the ground in the cage. One candy was even wrapped in some plastic! We know very well that every year, many ZOO's animals die thanks to idiotic visitors who feed them with absolutely incredibly inappropriate food. And plastic wrap would be surely a serious threath to the health of a fox. So I found some branches and as *Allerlei is very skillful and has slim palms and fingers, she managed to take at least the wrapped candy out of the cage. I tried to digged the unwrapped candy to the ground to protect the foxes from finding and eating it. The funny thing is that when we started our rescue mission, baby fox woke up and started to observe us. As soon as we removed the candy, kit got close to us, laid to the ground and started posing for photos. Incredible nice reward for our help attempt!

This baby, but even younger:

By the way, polar foxes produce extremely crazy noise! It can not be even described if you want to know vocalization of arctic foxes, enjoy my YT video: [link]

FUR ON YOUR BACK IS BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: polar/arctic fox (alopex lagopus)
Location: north of Eurasia, North America, Greenland
Size: 67 cm long body, 30 cm high, 40 cm long tail weight: 5 - 9 kg
Diet: lemmings, Arctic Hare, eggs, and carrion, but polar foxes eat also birds, baby seals and fish. Foxes are able to hide their prey to find and eat it later.
Conservation status: Least Concern (only population in Scandinavia is endangered)
Interesting facts: polar foxes change their fur. They are white in winter, but then start to lose their fluffy white coat. In summer, they are dark grey and much less fluffy | because they live in cold weather, their snouts and ears are very short | polar foxes tend to form monogamous pairs in breeding season. Females give birth to 4-8 pups and both parents take care of the babies | some foxes are called ,,blue foxes“ due special colour or their coat | polar foxes are able to survive temperature – 80°C! | polar foxes often follow polar bears to eat rest of bear’s prey | polar foxes have thick fur even on their paws – that’s why they can walk on ice
