? Foxes are very fast and can run up to 45 miles per hour. Foxes like to stick to their family members, and a pack may include siblings, mates, and their mothers. Foxes are omnivores, which means they eat both meat and vegetation. If they have trouble finding food, a fox has no problem raiding a trash can. Foxes can eat up to several pounds of food a day. What they don’t eat, they will often store under leaves or snow to save for later. Foxes are usually monogamous, which means they often have only one mate for life. There is a family of wild foxes that have made Cameron Park Zoo their home. They love to catch insects under the lights of the parking lot after visitors have headed home.

Derramando el viento

Spilling the Wind se fundió en bronce de silicio en la fundición personal del artista, que ha operado con su padre desde 1983. Desde la época romana, el águila en el arte ha sido un símbolo de poder y visión clara. Aquí, el artista ha colocado al águila en un movimiento de vuelo casi vertical. Un ala se extiende hacia el cielo y la otra apunta hacia la tierra. Mientras tanto, esos ojos agudos miran hacia el futuro, quizás hacia el futuro. Observe la variación de color, que se debe a la aplicación de una pátina especial que define las plumas y ayuda a proteger el bronce.
