Playful Fox Kits

Gallery: WildlifePosted July 2, 20181,421 views13 comments

I had the pleasure of leading a short tour last week in the San Juan Islands. We saw a fair amount of wildlife, highlighted by these colorful red foxes. The foxes in this area come in a variety of colors, and are really quite beautiful. By this time, most of the kits are fairly large and on the verge of independence, so they were roaming around frequently and were quite playful.

This is so cute Max. Awesome eye contact. Looks like they both just got caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing. Like wrestling in the house or something. Great colors and details as always.

Great eye contact and detail! I'm not all that sure they are being playful, however. sad

Stunning eyes and great interaction. Like Phil, I'm not all that sure they are "playing" !

Amazing capture, Max. The expressions are awesome...a combo of "as if we didn't have enough to worry about right now" and "cheese, now scram."
