Image of the Day: Climate Change & Red Fox - Not Funny

Published: May 30th, 2012

This photo of a red fox is stunning, but the red fox is actually helping to endanger its cousins, the Arctic fox. Research has discovered that warmer temperatures are allowing red foxes to move and stay further north. The red fox is bigger than the Arctic fox and is not only scaring them away, leaving mother Arctic foxes to abandon their litters, but the two are competing for food.
