Fox

If we get to know them a little better we can be convinced that these beautiful creatures are different from what we learned about them as children. They are caring parents, playful, and often friendly animals. Foxes reproduce once a year, and the female gives birth to one to 11 puppies (average six), which are born blind and do not open their eyes until the ninth day after birth. During that time, they stay in the den with the female, who does not let them out of sight, while the male brings food. They live with their parents until they are seven months old. Foxes love to play. They play with each other, but also with other animals. Foxes are naturally curious animals. According to New Scientist, a fox can see the Earth's magnetic field as a "darkened circle" on its eyes that darkens when it faces north. When the shadow and the sound of the prey align, the fox knows the exact direction in which to prey on the prey. The Arctic fox, which lives in the northernmost region of the hemisphere, can cope with the cold better than most animals on Earth. They only get cold at -70 degrees Celsius!
