An intimate portrait of a mysterious and misunderstood animal. “Tjernshaugen writes in an easy-to-read style that is full of insight and understanding. I felt like I was sitting beside him as he described fox behavior.” —Rick McIntyre, Yellowstone wolf researcher and author of The Rise of Wolf 8 If you look into the fox's amber eyes, you'll notice vertical pupils.
