Christmas in Yellowstone
Video: Red Fox Hunts Mice

Under the snow, insulated from the wind and cold, is a network of tunnels inhabited by mice and voles. This red fox can’t see them, but he can hear them moving. Diving nose first through the snow’s surface, the fox searches out a meal.

My son and daughter could not stop laughing watching the segment during the show. Their anticipation while the fox was prepping for dive was priceless.

This was stunningly beautiful to see. Fascinating shots of the hibernating bear and fox on the hunt. It was also the first time that my cat got off the warm couch, stood straight up to touch the TV and watched the show for 20 minutes in rapt attention. Even he was captivated- that has never happened before!
