Malt 379 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 What I meant was that their behaviour is pretty much the same: quick on the turn, crafty, clever survivors. Easy enough to pick up out in the open with most lurchers if they want them, but a different kettle of fish given cover to sneak through. Apparently they evolved as mouse hunters, hence the cat like agility. Combine that agility with the dog like long distance endurance & intelligence and you've got a truly worthy opponent for a dog. It's just a shame we're not legally allowed to witness it any more... Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Did you see the amazing footage of a fox hunting in the snow? It was on the Yellowstone programme. It listens for the mouse or small rodent under the snow, then jumps high in the air before doing a perfect dive through the snow, right down to the mouse, with its hindlegs trailing behind it, just like a human diver: superb!

I did see that, as it goes! Quote Link to post
