Fur and Fangs rather than Feathers and Beaks

10,000 Birds

On another trip, this time to Slovakia, I heard wolves howling, a wonderfully spine-tingling sound. No, not an Arctic Fox, but a Red Fox in Arctic Finland I may not have seen many wolves, but I have seen lots of foxes (or what I should perhaps call red foxes). Why not the stoat family or the badger family?)

You can make a similar map for the small carnivores, the Mustelids, such as minks, ermines, otters, etc. Dogs are similarly dispersed across size ranges, with Foxes, Coyotes, and Wolves taking prey across different parts of the size range. Smaller and larger animals (if there are any) are taken by other creatures.
