The female fox trekked the two and a half month journey from Norway's Svalbard islands to northern Canada in the longest recorded fastest movement rate for a fox ever. Researchers at Norway's Polar Institute fitted the young female with a GPS tracking device and freed her into the wild in late March last year on the east coast of Spitsbergen, the Svalbard archipelago's main island. The fox was under a year old when she set off west in search of food, reaching Greenland just 21 days later - a journey of 1,512 km - before trudging forward on the second leg of her trek.
She was tracked to Canada's Ellesmere Island, nearly 2,000 km further, just 76 days after leaving Svalbard. What amazed the researchers was not so much the length of the journey as the speed with which the fox had covered it - averaging just over 46 km (28.5 miles) a day and sometimes reaching 155 km.
Is there anything cuter than a fox?! Maybe a fox cub, but that's it! It is physically and emotionally impossible not to fall in love after looking into those beautiful mischievous eyes! Growing up with "The Fox and the Hound", its hard not to appreciate that foxes are truly beautiful creatures, and I wish it was easy to have them as pets like dogs and cats. But for now all you can do is sit and gaze at these gorgeous animals, and wonder how you too could have one as a pet. But if you have been rating these foxes on a scale of cuteness, you'll love this twitter account's fox ranking system.
What starts off as a sad story soon turns into a 'Fox and the Hound' tale. Only without the hound and the heartache of abandonment. Well, maybe a little heartache. Chris Rolfe, a farmer from Haywards Heath, West Sussex, had been checking on his pregnant ewes when he saw a car hit a fox on his way home. He immediately went to check on the fox when he noticed it was a vixen and there was movement of cubs inside her belly. Thinking quickly, he performed a C-Section and pulled out the pups.

No animal deserves to be without a home, and these gorgeous foxes are certainly no exception. Although they are from a family of animals that includes dogs and wolves, Foxes are mainly solitary creatures besides when rearing young, when the small family is known as a "skulk" or "leash" of foxes. But if you think these animals are incredible as is, you must see them captured in photos in the wild. That is truly breathtaking.
They may be blatantly disrespectful... But who cares! They are still so adorable!! Animals can intentionally or otherwise provide us with the cutest looks without meaning to, and all it takes is a bemused expression on their face and a well timed camera shot. Those two combined make up basically every internet meme ever. But do you know which animal could never stick its tongue out? The T. Rex. That's right, not only does it have stubby arms, but a rather inflexible tongue to boot. Talk about nature and karma. And enjoy even more hilarious animals with these ridiculous fox ranking system that this Twitter user decided to create out of boredom, or another list ranking the cutest cat breeds while you're still in a judgy mood.

These foxes are just too cute. And we get them immortalized in gif form to enjoy their cuteness over, and over, and over again. At least until we can't handle it anymore and need something a bit less wholesome to calm down. Did you know that the smallest fox, the Fennec Fox, weighs under three pounds? Or that Arctic Foxes will only shiver at tempuratures below -70 degrees Fahrenheit. These are all things that can be found in the world of foxes, and so much more. And what could be better than seeing foxes at their most natural, enjoying the most that life in the wild has to offer.
Foxes are incredible creatures, and very often poorly portrayed in the media and in the arts. So how about some info nuggets about them you might not know. You might have heard that certain animals use the Earth's magnetic field in their survival day to day. But foxes are the only animal with this ability that uses it specifically in its hunting. Foxes are able to judge the distance of a jump from them to their pray with unerring accuracy. For them, the magnetic field is seen as almost a shadow around their eyes, and they wait for that shadow and the sound the pray is making to line up, before making their move.
