Xu Qiaoqiao's group of siblings, except for her, all have their own names, which were given to them by their mother.
Perhaps because they are from a Western country, these names all have a somewhat foreign feel to them.
The Arctic fox that came to care about Xu Qiaoqiao was named Ada. She was a very calm fox cub and the most honest one, otherwise she wouldn't have been so easily fooled by Xu Qiaoqiao.
Her uncle's name was Victor, her mother's name was Lily, her father's name was Panda, and Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't remember the names of the other Arctic foxes, since there were about ten foxes.
She remembered the names of a few Arctic foxes that left a deep impression on her.
Her name is just one character: Qiao.
Xu Qiaoqiao really likes this name.
This was the most satisfying of all the small worlds she had experienced.
Because of Xu Qiaoqiao's unintentional remark, during dinner that evening...
The older fox brother decisively said: "Mom, my sister said she's very hungry today, so we should let her eat more."
As soon as he said that, the other fox cubs chimed in.
"Yes, yes, let your younger sister eat it."
"I feel so hungry, Aila doesn't like it."
Then for dinner, Xu Qiaoqiao was fortunate enough to receive a whole lemming, along with several bags of berries. Her uncle, her brother Ada, and her mother gave Xu Qiaoqiao their share of berries.
Because the food they caught was only enough for one meal, the adult foxes wanted to go out and find some more when they heard that Xu Qiaoqiao was still hungry.
Xu Qiaoqiao quickly stopped her. It was already dark outside, and what if they encountered danger if they went out now?
"Giggle." This is enough for me; I can't eat any more.
Xu Qiaoqiao raised her head and spoke to the foxes. She had just made up an excuse, but she didn't expect her brother Aida to take it seriously, which made her smile wryly.
Although foxes are nocturnal animals with excellent night vision, she still felt a little hot in the face from the thought of having to find food for her.
Looking into her clear eyes and hearing her words, everyone gave up on the idea.
By July, Xu Qiaoqiao's hair loss had become even more severe; in just a few days, almost all of her body hair had fallen out.
It wasn't just her; the mother fox had lost almost all of her fur, and the other white foxes in the house were also experiencing the same thing, even those whose fur wasn't very white.
It's just that there are no white foxes, so it looks so shocking.
A family of foxes must be kept in perfect order.
Xu Qiaoqiao's mindset has improved a lot in the past few days. Anyway, this is a phenomenon that has gradually formed in the evolution of species. It is also for survival. In addition, everyone is like this. Some have a bald patch on their back, some on their head, or some on their stomach.
If it's ugly, we're all ugly together.
Hehe~
July, summer.
The time for migration has come.
Arctic foxes are highly skilled at migration; they can undertake long-distance migrations and have excellent navigation abilities.
During the winter, they leave their nests and migrate to the outer Arctic Circle, reaching a place 600 kilometers away, before returning home the following summer.
Arctic foxes can migrate 4,600 kilometers in five and a half months. They can travel an average of 90 kilometers a day and can continue for several days at a time, which is quite impressive.
They can migrate from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast in about a few months, a journey similar to the distance from east to west in Canada.
All of this is for survival.
This phrase has been said countless times, but it is the truth.
In the past few days, when Xu Qiaoqiao went out for a walk, she would occasionally see a group of Arctic foxes leaving. Several adult Arctic foxes would walk in front, and several fox cubs would try to chase after them, but they would soon disappear from sight.
It was only then that Xu Qiaoqiao realized that the migration was about to begin.
I wonder how their own preparations are going.
Just as Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking about it, her father announced the matter that evening. The adult male fox was making some noises as it sat in front of everyone and told them about the next plan.
Xu Qiaoqiao blinked her curious eyes as she listened to her father tell her all this. She had even done a migration herself, which sounded quite interesting at first glance.
The patriarch announced that the migration would begin the day after tomorrow, and the large foxes cheered.
Even the younger ones started squawking.
Just like the kids in kindergarten cheering them on.
This prompted Xu Qiaoqiao to follow suit. After calling out, her face felt a little hot. She hadn't meant to do those actions; it was just that the atmosphere was right, and she couldn't help but do them.
Since the core is still a college graduate and an adult, Xu Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed.
Foxes are nocturnal animals. Despite their cute appearance, they are actually fierce carnivores. However, they are not at the top of the food chain; on the contrary, they are quite far down the chain.
There are many large carnivores that prey on foxes, and most of these carnivores are nocturnal, so the fox's lifestyle is also designed to minimize the threat of predators.
Because in nature, most carnivores have fixed diets.
Arctic foxes are a type of fox, so this is no exception.
However, the Arctic fox's diet mainly consists of lemmings, which are primarily active during the day. Being nocturnal makes it easier for the Arctic fox to hunt, so the Arctic fox is quite unique.
