It was an exciting experience, though a remarkably chilly one, as winters in Castile and León can be very cold. 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).

Aisholpan Nurgaiv is a graceful, rosy-cheeked 13-year old girl with a magic smile who makes living on the edge of nowhere and forever look like the easiest experience in the world. Eagle hunting is a family tradition that goes back at least 12 generations, part of the larger nomadic Kazakh culture. It’s exciting.

4 The Love Of Animals

MARCH 17, 2011

Grief, friendship, gratitude, wonder, and other things we animals experience. Grief in magpies and red foxes: Saying goodbye to a friend.
