Winter Wildlife Flicks! : Fox Tales

January 12, 2020 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Enjoy a wonderful, wildlife-themed film on the BIG SCREEN, with surround sound, at the refuge visitor center on a Sunday afternoon! All films begin at 1:30 p.m. No preregistration for these films; simply show up!

On a high ridge in Newfoundland, Canada, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the borders of an old grove forest, a red fox, the matron of her family group, gives birth yet again. Follow the pups as they grow and learn to hunt, adapt, and survive. Explore the family dynamic of these clever creatures as bonds are formed. But the vixen knows that not all her cubs will inherit these tall trees, crystal lakes, and the ocean spray. Before the snows come again, she will have to banish some of her offspring for the good of the family. We also hear from scientists in Madison, Wisconsin and Bristol, England, about their studies on urban Red foxes who are facing a much different challenge than their Canadian counterparts. And another scientist tracks how red foxes are moving out to the Arctic tundra and surviving in one of the harshest landscapes. (2017; run time: one hour)
