Red Fox

Vulpes vulpes · "The Rusty Vagabond"

Population stable

My superpower

I use Earth's magnetic field to pounce on prey I can't even see.

My weird habit

I collect shiny objects and hide them near my den.

Did you know

I can hear a watch ticking from 40 metres away.

Ecosystem Balancer

I keep rodent and rabbit populations in check across cities, suburbs and forests — the ultimate opportunistic neighbour.
