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!

    what an amazing episode. Linda Hunt as narrator was a great choice, and made us feel as if we were in Yellowstone celebrating Christmas! I purchased two copies, one as a gift.

    The sound of the fox is so clear! And the music, like Peter and the Wolf, was it written and performed to the film? Is fabulous. The high tones like mice, the drums like we’re in the circus. And of course so well filmed. Thank you very much!

  15. maneschijn3 says:

    At second thought: it must be an existing piece of music to which the film is cut, isn’t it? Who is the composer and what is the name of the piece, what orchestra? Where the sounds the fox seem to make put to it later as well?
