Photographers captured footage of three red foxes in Zhaosu County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

In the footage, the red foxes stand still, ears perked, quietly listening to their surroundings on the snow-covered slopes. Their bright, golden coats stand out vividly against the white backdrop, infusing the early spring landscape with a sense of lively charm.

The red fox is classified as a second-class nationally protected wild animal in China and plays a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem's balance.
