Foxes' skulls are specially adapted for diving into snow

3. Cats around here have an interesting technique for catching moles & voles.

They jump up like the foxes only they jump around in small circles, hitting the ground hard to drive out the critters. Then they dive for it's head and try to catch them or if that doesn't work, they'll try digging it out and that usually works well for them. One of our neighbors has a plot of land that he leaves in a natural state and the cats love hunting there. We've watched a number of cats use this technique, including ours.
