From the world of science and nature comes this internet-palate-cleansing clip from the BBC 2's Yellowstone special: a red fox listens for mice scurrying six feet under the snow. And then he gets 'em. It's cool:
I think this is what smart homeschooled kids watch instead of cats screaming at each other. It's like a peek into another viral video world!
