A Wild Fox
The first thing that the three friends wanted to do was to tame the animal. With hands stretched out, they approached it while talking quietly, calling the animal to them. It was exactly what would make a tame animal run toward them.
Getting Away
But the Arctic fox was far from a tamed house pet and it tried to get away from them. With no other place to run to, it was virtually trapped on a piece of ice. It just sat there staring at the strange humans who were reaching out to it. The fox would clearly not approach them, but they weren’t going to leave it either.
