Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:

"The swift fox is one of the smallest foxes in North America. It is the northern relative of the kit fox. Because it lives in ranch country, it is vulnerable to the effects of agriculture. The swift fox helps the farmer by eating mice and insects, and the farmer does not usually exterminate him on purpose. Agricultural pesticides and monoculture, however, have wiped out the swift fox in much of its original range."
