Fox Kits

Thanks to a friend alerting me to the den on her property, I had a chance to spend a short time recently with four fox kits. I spent 35 minutes in the evening seeing all 4, and then 19 minutes the next morning when 2 were visible outside the den. Below is a  photo showing a kit standing near its den in the early morning dappled sunlight.

They knew I was there but did not seem to mind. One had interesting green eyes. I cannot explain these. The fox was backlit, and I certainly did not use flash.

And then three of them got into a fight.

Here is the above fight extended.

Here are some of the other photos I took of the fox kits.
