The den of its prey.

[–]nwsreddit 172 points173 points ago

Fun fact, in the actual scene this fox emerges with some sort of rodent.

[–]Vince161 92 points93 points ago

It's a mole that can't see. The fox walks around until he hears one moving, this can be as deep as a foot. Once he hears one he stops and pinpoints it's location. He then jumps head first in the snow right above where he heard the mole and uses his nose to find it after he has collapsed the moles tunnel and the mole is thus pinned in the snow. FYI

[–]frankiefightsfood 16 points17 points ago

It's called a vole. It's related to a lemming and tunnels under the snow.

"Father, where are you?"

Whitney the mouse had come to a T in the snowy labyrinth. He cocked his ear toward the icy tunnel, listening for a response, but he only heard empty stillness.

He was just in front of me! he thought to himself. Oh, I'll be in such trouble!

His father had been in a rush to get back to their den. He had told him, "Hurry young one, we must go now, and you mustn't lose my trail." He didn't tell Whitney why. Mother probably needs help carrying chestnuts home from the winter stock. Oh, I'll never hear the end of it if I'm late!

Just then, a whumph echoed through the tunnel, and bits of snow fell from the ceiling. A ray of light shone from the tunnel to the left. "Father?" Whitney called, and he ran towards the light. Looking up through the giant hole in the ceiling, he was blinded, and heard a scream.

"Whitney!" his father called from above in a raspy squeal. A shadowy figure emerged in front of the sun, and Whitney saw his father clasped in the jaws of a giant monster. The drops of blood colored Whitney's winter coat red.

"Look after your mother, young one! She will need you to be strong." Whitney began to cry. "Now run!" With a gulp, the monster swallowed and his father was gone.

Whitney ran into the tunnel in tears, the blood of his father still warm on his fur. He ran and ran and ran until he could no longer stand. He laid in the cold, icy tunnel for many minutes until he heard a distant call.

"Whitney? Whitney are you there?" his mother called. Her voice gave him the strength to stand. He began to trot in her direction, when suddenly he heard a whumph and was enclosed in moist, warm darkness.

Father, I'm sorry. he thought as he began to suffocate, sliding down the monster's throat. At least we aren't dying alone...

[–]Reinmaker 5 points6 points ago

Wow. Thanks for that.

[–]Varriable 8 points9 points ago

I can't trust these documentaries. It said 6 feet beneath the snow. That was not six feet.... :[

[–]THLycanthrope 9 points10 points ago

Their bodies max out around 3 feet long (without tail). So clearly not.
They probably meant, up to 6 feet, but it's not what they said.

[–]therealxris 2 points3 points ago

It actually didn't say anything about depth.. the video description does, but not the narrator.

[–]Sil_E 4 points5 points ago

What kinda feet are we talking about here?

[–]therealxris 3 points4 points ago

Just watched the vid. It didn't say anything about 6 feet.

Sure, the description does, but it says the fox listens for rats 6 feet below the snow. Not that it dives 6 feet into the snow. If you want to play the semantics game, play it right.

[–]HardyBrother 46 points47 points ago

He is hunting mice and other small prey that he hears under the thick snow. He jumps up and dives in where he thinks his prey is.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

[–]MiloMuggins 4 points5 points ago

That doesn't make sense.

[–]Kryshia 97 points98 points ago

It's hunting. they can smell food underground like mice and gerbils and It's a pouncing attack where they ( hopefully) gross the animal enough to stop it from moving, polar bears do kinda the same thing.

OR It very well could be having a bad acid trip.

[–]katedid 4 points5 points ago

My mom's keeshond used to do that with moles. It was kind of funny because she would be playing and acting like a normal dog and then take off running in a big figure eight around the yard. She would feel the vibrations and just follow them though the yard. She managed to kill quite a few.

[–]smartzie 3 points4 points ago

I think you're correct. The rodents (like voles) make networks of tunnels under the snow where there is still grass and seeds to eat. The fox hears them and pretty much divebombs them through the snow. Digging would just scare them off so he uses the force of his body to break through the snow and pounces directly on top of them.

[–]McLogan 5 points6 points ago

THE WILD GERBILS OF THE ARTIC.

They hunt voles, which make tunnels underground. The fox's can hear them scurrying, and pounce on those bitches.

[–]warshadow 1 point2 points ago

Might be smell, but i think the Arctic Fox (the one with the huge ears) does it off hearing the rodents moving under the snow.

[–]dog_hair_dinner 1 point2 points ago

My dog does this. Except repeatedly and she never finds anything. In the winter, she does not look like a dog so much as a leaping, retarded furry ostrich.

[–]Sirlovett 20 points21 points ago

I read your title in a Russian accent. I envisioned a confused Russian mafia member laughing at the silly fox.

[–]ItBetterBeGood 5 points6 points ago

Wow, I didn't even realize it didn't say "Where is this fox trying to go?" until I read your comment.

I was at yellowstone this summer and in one of the many gift shops they had a coffee table book with pictures from winter. They had a sequence of shots like the gif op posted and they said that the fox could hear the sounds of mouse and little rodents running under the snow so it would try and leap to them. If it walked to them the rodents would hear the fox.

There has to be a downvote/upvote version of this

[–]Darktidemage 0 points1 point ago

This is called "trolling" folks. It's something reddit seems to think means "something designed to piss you off" but in reality this post is a perfect example of it. "something designed to cause replies just for the sake of trying to get replies, to waste people's time"

You post something intentionally wrong: The Grammar "where this fox is trying to go?" AND at the same time also idiotic; the fucking fox isn't trying to go anywhere it is trying to get at food under the snow.

The OP KNOWS this. That is the key. They are intentionally posting the idiotic post in order to get REPLIES. If the post gets a lot of replies they have thus been a very successful troll.

The entomology of the word is the "troller", a boat which lays out many many fishing hooks and waits for bites. It's not a troll under a bridge who just does shitty things to you.

Yes, this means I just got trolled.
