Three good things about this video

Posted by on December 5, 2013 Leave a comment (49) Go to comments

1.  Theory that the red fox uses the magnetic field of the earth to help catch field mice under the snow.  According to this it hardly ever catches mice.  Except for when it's facing North when it catches mice 75% of the time.
2.  That fox can frickin' jump!  
3.  It's hilarious what happens at the end of those jumps.

    I'm the sweet guitar riff when the words "NORTH AMERICA" fade in.

    It would be interesting to know how often they attack facing north.  

    And good thing that was soft powdery snow!

    +Doug Hardy seriously – as in you played that? I was really digging it (also YouTube paired it with a very similar guitar vibe ad).

    I've seen this up close and would be a little more inclined to think their ears are doing the finding. Ya never know…

    You know this whole premise is completely wrong. All he's doing is practicing for the Winter Olympics "Snow Diving Competition".
