We have been talking about local wildlife & I snapped these pictures from the car. You wouldn't believe how yellow his eyes were. Beautiful animal.

Wonderful pics. Have you ever seen a wild fox play with their prey before eating it? They can really jump high.

I haven't, but I can believe it, they are alot like cats. This one was very young, the den was close by (can't see it in the pics). We have a grey fox couple close by, I haven't seen them, but my husband & a neighbor have.
 
It is very tragic fact that the wild life is gradually destroying.People are hunting excessively and also the shortage of forest is cause of this.In fact the many species and kinds have been entirely finished.In less developed countries specially there must be a proper hand who should monitor the criminal hands for saving wild life.
 
He's gorgeous!

I have a soft spot for foxes. Unfortunately they (along with rabbits, canetoads and others) were introduced here (Australia) and made a pest of themselves killing off all the native wildlife to the extent that wildlife protection agencies encourage people to shoot them on sight. Your little guy is very lucky he's not from around here! :)
