In Finnish mythology, the Aurora Borealis -- the Northern Lights -- are the result of a celestial fox running through the night sky!
This is the corsac fox -- or to the people from its homeland in the steps of Central Asia, just the corsac!
There are non-profits in the United States that work to save foxes from bad ownership scenarios as well as fur farming.
If you want to donate to something good and wholesome before the end of the year, you should consider donating to one of these organizations. I personally like Save A Fox. They're based out of Minnesota, with a second location in Florida, and this year was a huge year for them, with them saving 500 foxes from a fur farm and preventing the owner from ever entering the trade again -- and that's just the biggest thing they did this year! The above picture is from one of their videos. You can donate to them here! https://www.saveafox.org/donate
In some parts of Greek mythology, the Teumessian Fox was a giant fox that was destined to never be caught.
Eventually, the fox caused so much trouble that it had to be stopped -- and so they called for Laelaps, the great hunting dog destined to always catch its prey, to capture it.
Faced with a paradox -- how does that which is destined to always catch its prey catch what is destined to never be caught -- Zeus cast both Laelaps and the Teumessian Fox into the night sky, as Canis Major and Canis Minor.
Arctic foxes have special adaptations for living in such cold climates. One of the coolest -- no pun intended -- is a webbing of blood vessels in their legs that act as heat exchangers. Blood going toward the paws warms blood returning from them, so the blood going to the body is pre-warmed and the blood in the paws loses less heat to the cold ground!
