"Fox kits, exercise in dominance" by amontanaview | Redbubble

"Fox kits, exercise in dominance" by amontanaview | Redbubble:



Taken west of Missoula, Montana, USA near the Clark Fork River in early June.
The Red Fox – Vulpes vulpes is a year round resident of Montana. This was a very successful litter, possibly two litters. The kits, I counted about 16 in the area, were different sizes, but seemed playful and healthy. I saw two adults bring in gophers and squirrels while I was there.

These are the first fox photos I have captured. Very fun!

We had many successful fox litters here in the Helena Valley as well, more than normal!
