    When I first saw this video, I was eager to watch more! Foxes are very cute, and they hunt very well! There was one part that amazed me. It was when the fox was listening very closely to a mouse, and then heard it. When it did that it jumped very, very high and plunged into the snow! That amazed me because I never knew animals can jump into snow and not get very, very, very cold!! This video inspired me!

    It amazing how the red fox jumped into the snow and caught its prey and ate it. (I never knew that it could jump into the snow and eat its food)

    When I first saw this video I was wandering what the fox was doing and then I thought that he was hunting and then he jumped

    I didn’t think that the fox was going to do that when he jumped into the snow and he went so deep I thought the fox would just dig into the snow and the fox jumped really high that was really cool because I didn’t know that a fox could jump so high.

      Hi Philip,
      A very similar message to yesterday’s one. Watch the number of emojis you are using in your comments.

    Be nice to foxes and let them alone and don’t kill them. It is pretty cool how the fox findes the mouse and grabs it and then it eats the mouse. How can the fox know exactly were the mouse is?

    I thought at first maybe it wasn’t going to catch anything but when it jumped up and dived into the snow it was amazing, and even better, it got food

    When I saw this video I was impressed with the hunting tecnique I wondered what was he eating? But I dug deeper into the question and asked myself how could the fox survive so long without food?!

    I thought that this video was amazing! I was so suprised when the red fox lept into the air and sunk into the snow. My first thought was, isn’t the fox cold?! I really enjoyed the video and found it really interesting.

    I think this video is amazing because in the cold winter weather that it still hears the sound of mice under the snow.

    I think this video is interesting and it explains how the fox hunts. I think it is amazing because I didn’t expect the fox to leap up, I didn’t think that was it’s instinct. I also think that the fox might be in danger, because I don’t think there are many mice in the snow.

    It was amasing how the fox was able to listen so closely and was able to go so deep under the snow plus the fox was so adorable. At the begining I was not sure what was going to happen but then as I wached more of the video I was amassed.
    As I watched it the fox was so quiet and then suddenly it went under the snow six feet to catch a mouse.

    Foxes are amazing! I find the fact that it was able to hear the mouse under six feet of snow incredable. And it jumped so high! I think that it was amazing that it was able to do that. It was really beautiful to watch, even though it was a bit sad when it got the mouse. I am an animal lover, so this was amazing to see. I really loved watching this, and the music helped the mood even more! I would love to watch more videos like this.

    I have never seen this type of behavior before, It’s amazing that some foxes can smell/hear their prey six feet under the snow.

    The fox listened for it’s prey, then it arched back and went flying headfirst and caught it’s prey. It was astounding.

    I think I heard something. What was it? Was it just the sound of the snow creaking under my paw? Or was it dinner?
    There it is again. That is the noise I have been searching for.
    I creep forward. I mustn’t make a false move or else dinner will be gone.
    I can feel how close I am. My body tightens with excitement. It is time.
