It's January. I'm hungry. I want a meal. My food, however, is buried 3 feet down, deep in the snow, hiding. Think about this ... an ordinary fox can stalk a mole, mouse, vole or shrew from a distance of 25 feet, which means its food is making a barely audible rustling sound, hiding almost two car lengths away.
