Tibetan fox

With a gleaming golden coat and playful pounce, this fox proves that high-altitude living is no match for its wit and whimsy

Native in the high mountains of Asia, including the Himalayas, this fox has a beautiful golden or brownish-grey coat that helps it blend in with its rocky environment. It is very good at hunting small animals like rodents and pikas, which it catches with its sharp teeth and claws. This fox is also known for its playful behavior, and can often be seen frolicking in the snow or playing with other foxes.

Sadly, the Tibetan fox is facing some threats to its survival. Its habitat is being destroyed by climate change and human activities such as mining and agriculture. Some people also hunt the Tibetan fox for its fur.
