The Himalayan Ibex is regarded as a subspecies of the Siberian Ibex. They are found in the western Himalaya in Pakistan and India, usually at elevations of 3800m and higher. An adult ibex weighs about 90 kgs, and stands around 40 inches tall, with huge curved horns. The horns have notches on the front, and grow each year. Their coat is thick and woolly in winter, and shed in early summer. Colour ranges from pale brown to dark brown, with a darker dorsal stripe. They are usually found in small herds, and sometimes around 50 together. They normally feed on grass, moss and small shrubs. In winter, they come down to lower elevations in search of food as the mountains get covered in snow. In summer they move back upward as the snow melts.

The highly adaptable red fox can be found throughout the Northern Hemisphere and is considered the most widespread carnivore on the planet.
But while it might be commonplace in many parts of the world, the red fox has an ability that's anything but ordinary: It uses Earth’s magnetic field to hunt.
Red foxes feed primarily on small rodents, and unlike most mammals, they can hear low-frequency soundsextremely well. When a fox is hunting, it listens intently and can pick up on tiny sounds — including the sound of a vole scampering beneath 3 feet of snow.
