As dawn breaks over the frosty pastures of Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan, herders light fires for breakfast—while their unexpected allies, Tibetan foxes, hunt breakfast of their own. The white-headed foxes target black-lipped pikas, rodents notorious for damaging grasslands. For locals, this predator-prey dynamic is a win-win: foxes get a meal, herders get pest control!
This frosty partnership is just one chapter of the Snowy Western Sichuan Series, showcasing how wildlife adapts to the region\u2019s harsh winters. From solitary wolves to echoing bird calls, the series reveals survival strategies in a landscape transformed by ice.
