Fox will Generally Pounce In A North Easterly Direction

Did you know, typically, when a fox pounces on prey it will pounce/jump in a north easterly direction?

If they do pounce in a north easterly direction they catch their prey 73% of the time.

If they pounce in other directions they only catch their prey 18% of the time.

It's believed they are using earth's magnetic field as a range finder...
