About the Winter Woodland Animals set: A set of four stamp designs picturing a deer, rabbit, owl, and fox, in the snowy habitats they call home during the winter. The stamps were issued to celebrate the natural beauty of winter and all picture illustrations by Katie Kirk.
History the stamp represents: Red foxes are the most widespread species of fox in the world. They have had to adapt to a variety of different climates, including northern areas with cold, snowy winters.
While some animals hibernate during the winter, red foxes stay active. Their normally thick coat gets even longer as temperatures turn chilly. This allows them to stay warm by simply curling up with their nose tucked into their tail. In fact, most red foxes don’t even bother going into a den. They will find a spot right out in the open, even staying warm while covered in snow.
Like other carnivores dependent on small prey for food, it can be difficult for foxes to hunt when there is snow on the ground. However, their sharp hearing allows them to detect a mouse from up to 100 yards away. They simply follow the sound until they are close, jump straight into the air, dive head-first into the snow, and grab their prey. It’s easy to tell where a red fox has been hunting in the winter time since they leave behind a fox-sized indent in the snow.
As long as red foxes can find food, they can usually survive the winter. IT gets more difficult in harsher years and they sometimes have to face off against other predators to secure a meal. But it is all worth it when spring comes and it is time to raise the next generation of red foxes.
