When Manasie was talking about the fox he described her as a scavenger; “cleaner of the north”

Their sense or smell is so acute they find anything dead and clean up the landscape of the north. They are also little thieves – they take eggs from anywhere they can possibly get them.

He said they are very tasty too, he likes them better than arctic hare.
