Ahhhh, yoga. It feels so good to relax and focus and just be present, doesn't it? But you can forget about downward facing dog and child's pose, because our friends at Daily Squee have the hottest new asana: blissful fox. Namaste.

Score one for Team Hunted.

OK. We know we shouldn't be flip about anyone being injured. But we certainly were very intrigued when we read in the Vancouver Sun that an unlucky hunter was outsmarted by a wounded fox in Eastern Europe.

The man shot the fox while hunting in Northwestern Belarus, which borders Poland. When he approached to finish the job with the butt of his rifle, the fox fought back, according to the newspaper.

During the tussle, the feisty fox managed to pull the trigger on the gun, shooting the hunter in the leg. The hunter wound up in the hospital recovering from his wound, and the trigger-happy fox escaped and is hopefully recovering from his own injuries.

Kind of gives new meaning to the saying "clever like a fox," doesn't it?

Today on Paw Nation: pangrams come to life.

OK, maybe just one... but the most well-known of all!

The quick brown fox needs to be a little faster if he's going to jump over this lazy dog; apparently he expected to be leaping over something small like a chihuahua or a Yorkie, not an Alaskan Malamute. We hope this is the first in a series of video-illustrated pangrams.

Our vote for the next one? "The jay, pig, fox, zebra, and my wolves quack!"
