Young foxes are intensely competitive. These two (I think a young male and female) weren't in the mood for sharing when some chicken scraps magically appeared in the garden.
The young vixen is using her body to push the male out of the way
But teeth present a more severe warning
In the tangle they both grab and go
And a moment or two later, peace returns to the garden
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 40D and EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS lens.

Ahh, arguments within the family… who doesn't know the feeling from own experience? 😉
And yet again, the last photo is almost unbelievably awesome… plus, in this case, cute, too!
Kids do argue, it is important for their growing up :knight:
A lovely sequence of behaviour. I suppose it all started with "You're on MY side of the garden!". The peaceful symmetry of the last shot is great!:furious: Good to see you have those magical chickens in your garden too – I thought it was just me! :whistle:
Darko, they're little terrors!
Vulpes, those are the moments I'm waiting for. The garden is full of magical things 😉
Wojtek, thanks!
That last shot is marvellous! And yes, they certainly can be absolute terrors to each other.
The last shot is my favorite, like a mirror image almost.
Thanks Erwin!
Lois, these two are the boldest. The one on the left is female, the one on the right male.
Adele, thanks!
Lovely photos, especially the last one. If you cropped the last one to a portrait of the heads it might make an interesting if art compostion
Neil, those two are great little cubs. Always together.
A beautiful set of Pict
