The Tibetan fox is a small predator that inhabits the high-altitude plateaus of Central Asia. It has thick fur and an almost square muzzle, which helps it survive in the cold and dry climate.
The Tibetan fox differs from other foxes by its almost square-shaped head and thicker fur. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of rodents on high-mountain plateaus.
