When it comes to foxes, it's no secret that we're in love with them. All foxes, from red foxes to arctic foxes and all the foxes in-between. They are so heckin' adorable and we believe we understand the fox obsession. Think about it, they sort of look like bigger cats yet act like dogs. They pant, they play fetch, they're communicative. They also have a cat-like tendency to them as well, the way they sleep, the way they walk on their toes, very elegant cat-like tread. Or how about the fact that they are the only members of the dog family that can climb trees?

Foxes are truly a hybrid of both cats and dogs. The Canadian Marble fox is a unique one, with gorgeous black and white markings that almost make the animal look like a mythical creature or unreal. However, this exotic animal is real and they stem from the canine family. Marble foxes, unlike wolves, tend to hunt alone. These gorgeous animals are so lovely to look at, we only wish there were more photos of these beauties around to marvel at! 

These images were taken in 2015, by Canadian photographer Dennis Fast, they have seen gone viral after appearing in Modern Met Magazine and you're about to see why!

Stunning images of polar bears frolicking in a vibrant pink field of fireweed. Seriously, what can top that? the striking contrast of the white polar bear against a sea of pink flowers.

The photos were taken in Northern Canada's Hudson Bay, near lodges run by Churchill Wild in Manitoba. Fast tells My Modern Met, "It's not just their color that makes them a favorite target of my camera. They have a slow, ambling gait as they drift about looking for anything that moves. It looks like they don't have a care in the world, and that there is nothing they are afraid off. It's not arrogance, exactly, but a quiet confidence that we often respect in humans and that translates well to the polar bear." 

Let's talk about how deliciously fluffy theCanadian Lynx is. The cat is quite literally just a giant floof ball with eyes and gigantic paws! This lynx can be found across Canada, Alaska and even extending to the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. It has a beautiful ruffed face and tufted ears, and it;s over twice the size of a domestic cat!
