Male red fox, or dog, sleeping in the open on the snow, despite a cold drizzle. Note how the fox, well adapted for the cold, wraps his bushy tail around his body to stay warm, and tucks his nose into his fur. Foxes have other adaptations for the cold, including long and thick coats, more fur on their footpads than domestic dogs (for warmth and better grip in snow), and the ability to conserve body heat by reducing circulation to their paws. Their cold-resistant feet, long legs in relation to their bodies, and light builds allow them to move well even in deep snow. Some mammalogists believe the red foxes original to North America, as opposed to their present-day descendants, which may have hybridized with the subspecies introduced from Europe, were restricted to boreal and mountainous regions. This sleepy fox was photographed in the hills of rural Washington, Connecticut.

At the base of the Inari Mountain at Kyoto Japan is the Fushimi Inari Shrine, one of the many shrines dotted in the mountain. Inari, who is traditionally the Shinto God of Rice, is worshiped at the Fushimi Inari Shrine by merchants and manufacturers for centuries because Inari is also renowned in history as the patron of business. What is iconic about the Fushimi Inari Shrine are the innumerable “Torii” gates linking all the shrines around the mountain. These traditional red gates, with black bases, are tightly packed in long rows, starting from the two dense parallel rows of gates known as the “Senbon Torii” which lead to the hiking trails at the back of the Shrine’s main grounds.
