阿姆斯特丹的赤狐

阿姆斯特丹的赤狐,今天，让我们一起前往荷兰阿姆斯特丹供水沙丘自然保护区，去看一看那里的赤狐。这个自然保护区在阿姆斯特丹市以西8英里处。这里不仅有各种各样的动植物，还有数百个专门用于过滤雨水的沙丘。自19世纪以来，这些沙丘便一直是城市饮用水的来源。
一直以来，人们经常在供水沙丘一带看见赤狐。作为世界上体型最大的狐狸，赤狐广泛分布于北半球。它们倾向于群居，年幼的小狐狸会帮助照顾下一代幼崽。然而，红狐并不满足于生活在森林，它们越来越多地移居到城市。不过在漫长历史里，狐狸与人类共存的事情并不鲜见，它们早就活跃在印第安、希腊、凯尔特和中国的民间传说中了。

Red fox, the Netherlands

Today we’re heading to the Netherlands to visit the red foxes at the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen Nature Reserve. This protected area about 12 kilometres west of Amsterdam is home to not only a diverse assortment of plants and animals, but also hundreds of specially designed sand dunes that help filter rainwater. The Waterleidingduinen (water supply dunes) have been the source of the city’s drinking water since the 19th century.

Maybe for almost as long, red fox sightings have been common at the Waterleidingduinen. They’re the world’s largest foxes and are widespread across the Northern Hemisphere. They tend to stay close to their families, the young often helping to care for the next generation of kits. Not fully content in the woods, red foxes are increasingly colonising urban areas. It’s just the latest in a long history of foxes sharing the planet with humans, as they appear in the folklore of Native American, Greek, Celtic and Chinese cultures, among others.
