Arctic fox kits on Wrangel Island, Russia
Perhaps these Arctic fox kits are taking a more laid-back approach to celebrating Siblings Day today. This pair lives on Wrangel Island, a Russian island near Alaska. Arctic fox kits are weaned by the time they’re nine weeks old, but enjoy a robust network of support from both mom and dad as well as other adult foxes that live in or near their den. By the time they’re ready to hunt small rodents on their own, they’ll have had plenty of training from the grown-ups, and each other.
