weather

Swift Foxes live in Canada, and they are always familiar with their weather climate. Which changes with the season. Summer for instance is hot like around 90 degrees. Fall is a regular of  70-75 degrees. Winter sometimes can fall between 50degrees or below and it does snow around 30 degrees so they are familiar with snow. And spring which is their mating season, is a estimate of 80-85 degrees. Which is perfect for their young. (offspring) so, you kind of get what I am Talking about here. ex- If you lived in Africa and ordered a swift fox (you can't really do that.) The weather would be WAY different, and could possibly kill the swift fox.  Or possibly make them really sick, which wouldn't be a good thing if your trying to  save them. To us it could be freezing but to a swift fox (and their fur is about 2 and a half inches thick) it would be pretty hot. They don't have heaters like we do, so their fur has to settle first. Its kind of like when you put on a jacket it wont be warmer right then, it would have to settle on your skin first. When it's cold they don't have fur on their belly so they mostly make burrows in a "U" shape under the ground and lay on their bellies. Which we will get to their homes and wear they live soon. Could you even think of living in a big den like this? would you like it? Why or why not. Well, i would say yes because I like to give things a try and it looks pretty warm.now could comment saying if you would or why not?! please. Okay, now back to the swift foxes. with their patches of fur their warm now think of the pachers that skin them....what do you think about potchers?
