2. love that,

I used to have a Siberian husky who would hunt for field mice like that when we walked over snowy grassland. He was very good at it too.

4. When I was at Thule AB, Greenland I got a chance to feed the arctic fox

After lunchtime the Danish contractors would toss scraps to the fox behind the chow hall. I joined them a couple of times. They would show up the same time everyday for their feeding and get really close. For a wild animal they were relatively tame. At first you think you could just walk up and pet them like a dog, but one look at their teeth and you think otherwise.
