For Nick Lafave, you took a picture of a fox hunting prey, and it is multicolored from what I see in the picture. Why is that?

The fox in that picture is a red fox. It naturally has some variation in color, but they remain the same basic color year-round unlike the arctic fox. Arctic foxes are white in the winter and become brownish red in the summer.
