A Wild Fox
The first thing they had to do was to tame this animal. With their hands outstretched, they came near the animal and talked in a quiet voice. They hoped that the animal was going to come to them. They called out to it quietly and kept their fingers crossed.
Getting Away
However, this Arctic fox was not like a tamed house pet at all. Instead of coming closer, it only moved away. There was no place for it to go, so it was basically trapped there. It stared at the humans reaching out to it. The fox did not want to come to them, but it did not mean they were giving up on it either.
