Definition
*Vulpes velox*, or the swift fox, is a small fox species found in the grasslands of North America. As its name suggests, it's known for its incredible speed and agility. Swift foxes are well-adapted to prairie life, with their slender bodies and ability to run quickly to escape predators. They feed primarily on rodents, insects, and small birds. The term emphasizes their quickness, contrasting with slower, more deliberate animals. Unlike a tortoise, this fox is all about speed.
