Arctic wolves catch their prey by chasing them down. Depending on what type of prey it is, they can catch them multiple ways. -jumping, biting, chasing, and sneak attacks-- For hooved prey, they would circle the herd, and like lions, a few would run at one of the animals, and separate it from the herd, and head it to where others lay in ambush, and after that, they bite it and chase it till they can get it at bay, and kill it.

Foxes in general do not have 'prey'. They are scavengers. If they find something left over from a Bear's kill they will eat it. Also, they are omnivores. They eat both plants and meat.

*side note: if you are asking because you may want/own a pet fox then they also eat dog/cat food.
