Day 7

On our journey threw the Siberian taiga we decided to go with an observation crew and observe the red fox in its natural environment. The observers and us left the site for the site at four in the morning and didn’t get back until 11:00 PM. During today excursion we gathered a lot of information. We noticed that the red fox’s tail is 70% of its body, a little more than half its body length. After observing this creature we figured out that this fox’s diet consist of smaller rodents, chickens and anything that is smaller than the fox. Also the fox eat dead animals that were left behind by another kill.
