Their hearing is insane. An arctic fox can hear a lemming moving under three feet of snow. It’ll leap up and pounce head-first into the snow, like a furry missile. The success rate is about 90%—better than most fast-food drive-throughs.
They also follow other animals. Ravens are good scouts. If a raven lands somewhere, the fox thinks, “Free food?” and trots over. It’s like a buddy system for scavengers.
And when they stash food? They remember thousands of caches across miles of tundra. Their memory is better than mine after two cups of coffee. No contest.
