When thinking of predatory animals such as foxes, most would probably imagine a vicious carnivore with razor-sharp teeth. But what if I told you that a certain fox species munches on Christmas beetles and berries?
In its natural habitat, the European red fox has been known to be an expert hunter that feasts mostly on small animals such as rabbits and birds. a study suggests that their diet may not always be so simple. In Queensland, Australia, where the European red fox is invasive, it has had to adapt to

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (1 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
