I felt like I was sitting beside him as he described fox behavior.\u0026amp;#x27; - Rick McIntyre, Yellowstone wolf researcher and author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rise of Wolf 8\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intimate portrait of a mysterious and misunderstood animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you look into the fox\u0026amp;#x27;s amber eyes, you\u0026amp;#x27;ll notice vertical pupils. With such feline eyes in a slender canine body, the fox is a relative of the dog and the wolf, but it hunts alone, like a cat. The fox lives close to people, both in the city and in the country, but it's wild, shy, and secretive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking long walks in the early morning, equipped with wildlife cameras - and sometimes with his dog Topsy by his side - Andreas Tjernshaugen journeys into the forest hoping to encounter the foxes living just outside his small town in Norway. He knows the telltale signs of how to find a fox den, how to identify a pawprint in the snow, and the smells that foxes leave behind. He meets a vixen he named Blackback, and he watches carefully as she and other foxes hunt, play, and live together as families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout this captivating book, Tjernshaugen investigates the fox's place in our own cultural history - such as Reynard the Fox, the Scandinavian inspiration for Disney's Robin Hood, and the fables of Aesop, which depict foxes as sly and cunning, a reputation that may not be fully earned, Tjernshaugen argues. What is true is \u0026amp;#x27;the fox is wilder than other wildlife...and largely survives in spite of our plans and regulations, like an outlaw, so I see it as a symbol of freedom and independence.\u0026amp;#x27;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852884660382,"sku":"ADS-9781778400728","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781778400728.jpg?v=1779064152","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781778400728","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
