Mother and Fox Cubs (trail cam video)

By Words | Published May 12, 2013

Just a quick post tonight featuring a little bit of trail cam footage obtained on Friday night. Seeing how the cubs dominate the lives of the adult foxes (and the vixen in particular) it is little wonder that foxes can look a little tired and bedraggled at this time of year. The cubs will soon start to fend for themselves, but she'll be keeping a watchful eye on them for a little while yet.

Plus a quick photo from this evening 😉

Camera note: photo of fox cub taken with the Canon 7D and EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens. Video via the Bushnell Trophy Cam HD.

    dW, yes we're back in the rainy season (on and off). The foxes aren't too worried by a bit of rain, but it tends to chase me inside.
