The red fox belongs to the family of wolf and is a winner in every respect. It is present in the most diverse habitats, from the snows of Alaska to the deserts of North Africa. Because of its intelligence and adaptability, it is the most widespread geographically in the world predator. He has learned to outmanoeuvre the lemmings in the tundra of Siberia, stealing chickens from farmers, and cross the street safely in urban areas. Foxes also have the ability to play dead in order to attract the crows, which then attack unexpectedly. The saying "as cunning as a fox" is a great truth.
