Failed taxidermy project? Nay nay, and don't be fooled by its wonky looks; the Tibetan Fox is a cunning hunter that is extremely well adapted to the high altitude plateaus it inhabits. This species of true fox is found across Tibet, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, as well as parts of China and India. Unlike most foxes, it is most active during daytime, when its favorite meal, the pika, is up and about. It often hunts solo, but bonded pairs may hunt together, or it may join a brown bear in its hunt, grabbing any pika that escapes the bear as it digs them out. To hide from predators in these treeless slopes, it lives in burrows, often stolen from marmots, as it is not a great digger itself.
