Red Fox Natural Snow Pounce

Create a vertical 4:5 non-invasive wildlife photograph of one adult red fox performing a natural snow pounce in deep clean snow. Ground coat pattern, ear position, muzzle, paws, tail, body arc, and behavior in a current rights-cleared species reference. Freeze the fox just as its front half angles downward, hind legs still driving from the surface, ears focused toward the snow, eyes directed below, and tail balancing the arc. Keep all limbs anatomically coherent and show no prey, blood, impact, trapped head, injury, or distress. Capture a fan of small snow crystals around the forelegs while preserving broad untouched white space above and to one side. Use bright flat winter overcast, neutral white snow, vivid but natural red fur, fast telephoto perspective, crisp fox and crystals, and gently softened background. Present the moment as remote observation with no bait, call playback, drone pressure, handling, or staged animal. Remove the literal source publication and resolution references. No National Geographic, logo, text, collar, den, cub, person, vehicle, fake tracks, anthropomorphic mood, or watermark.
