Why this fox is so fun to color
The smiling fox sits big in the front, its bushy tail with a light tip resting in the snow. Snow-capped pine trees stand all around, with a mountain behind them. Above the mountain, several firework bursts and little stars sparkle. The snowy hill and the sky are big spaces that fill up fast.

How do foxes get through winter?
Foxes don't hibernate – they stay active all winter long. In fall they grow a thick winter coat that keeps them warm. When they sleep, they curl their bushy tail around themselves like a blanket. With their big ears, foxes can even hear mice moving under the snow, then leap high and dive in nose first. This hunting jump is called mousing. Loud noises like fireworks can startle wild animals, so our fox wisely watches from far away.
