Our shy boy Jiminy would like to share something about Walking Wild that maybe not everyone is aware of.

Walking Wild is a unique one-of-a-kind facility in the fox rescue space and provides every single animal a completely enclosed climate controlled indoor space as well as an outdoor space. All of our animals always have access to both of their spaces and can choose if they want to be inside or outside. We feel that this indoor/outdoor setup is vital for many reasons. It ensures a safe space during inclement weather, it allows our animals to stay cool in the Heat and warm in the cold, it allows us to ensure they have a clean living space and means that foxes that are surrendered to us that have never been outside don't have the physical stress of no longer having a climate controlled environment. It means foxes with medical issues or poor coat quality due to breeding can stay comfortable and safe. It also is important for shy foxes like Jiminy who don't enjoy being in the same space that people are. It means that if we are outside Jiminy can go inside and if we are inside Jimmy can go outside. He has 200 ft of space (half of his enclosure) that he can have fun in where people are not if he so chooses, rather than having to hide in a small dog house or shelter as his only escape and potentially feeling overwhelmed and cornered when people are present. We are a forever home to every fox and animal that is surrendered to our sanctuary. This means, that it is our job to not just provide them with an adequate space, but with the best space we can and the space that they can live their lives comfortably and happily.

Here walking wild we truly are a unique, one-of-a-kind fox sanctuary and we strive to put every need of our animals first in all that we do. We are here to help and care for them the best we are able.

Here are the answers to our Arctic fox matching game!

Arctic foxes have one of the most dramatic seasonal changes. Many times looking like a completely different animal in the summer than in the winter. This dramatic change is because their body size changes as well as they get an entirely new coat. Arctic foxes don't just shed out an under layer to cool down they get an entirely new coat in the summer and the winter. Not only is the density of the coat different, but the color is as well. Wild arctic foxes utilize these different colors of coats to blend with their surroundings A lighter coat for the snowy winter tundra and a darker coat for the summer rocks. This extremely thick winter coat paired with their body naturally holding on to fat to help naturally protect them against frigid temperatures as well as taking into account the scarcity of food in the winter can make them appear to double in size! Although all of these a
Arctic foxes are domestically bred and have never needed to utilize these natural aspects to protect them from cold temperatures or keep their bellies full, they still undergo the same seasonal changes as a wild Arctic fox would.

Can you match the summertime Arctic fox with their winter time look? These photos feature six of our Arctic foxes. The first six photos are then yesterday in their summer coats and the second six photos are them this past winter. In the comments below match the numbers of each of the six foxes in their summer and winter look. Tomorrow I will post the answers.
