Foxes are even cute when they're hunting. :)

It's quite amazing that they can hear the mice; but what's REALLY amazing is how they can pinpoint them with such accuracy: when they do that dive, their mouth target area is only a couple of inches in diameter.

That was damn cute, and the music makes it even more cute. It's amazing that it can hear mice under the snow.
