San Juan Foxes


Its time to visit the fox kits again. Just 5 red-colored kits not the 14 we saw last year in red, grey, sand, black coats. But got to see various behaviors, much better than last time. The kits were not into 'solid' food yet. The mums still nurse them (two mums nurse one litter - apparently not that uncommon) and regurgitate food. This kit-fox was only interested to play with a (dead) rabbit. Mum tries to teach a life lesson: don't play with your food... eat it! But playing is important too for learning hunting skills.
