Talk to a fox! This lil guy will always listen to your problems no matter what and try to comfort you.

Fun facts: The most fascinating fun fact about the red fox is that they use the Earth's magnetic field as a targeting system to hunt prey hidden under deep snow or dirt.

When a red fox aligns its jump toward the northeast, its hunting success rate skyrockets from 18% to 74%. Scientists believe they possess a protein in their eyes called cryptochrome, which allows them to "see" the magnetic field and perfectly calculate the distance of a burrowing rodent before pouncing.
