These pictures are amazing. Wow.
Foxes always look like a cross between a dog and a cat to me. 🙂
Fabulous pictures Carole. I love the second to last one with the fox in the air.
Stacy, you are so right! Foxes do look like a cross between a dog and a cat. It is almost as if a dog’s head was put on a cat’s body.
Lynda, I really enjoyed my visit with the foxes! A couple of the kits had no problem playing while I took their picture.
Are you now going to replicate those experiments of breeding foxes for tameness?
Beautiful pictures!

Ann, funny you should bring that up….I was thinking that very same thing…only I think the foxes are doing it on their own. I have noticed that this season the kits have more white and less color then previous years, and they are bolder then they have ever been toward humans. My memory is that as they selected for more tameness the result was more white, curly tails, and barking…don’t quote me that is just what I remember. Of those three I have only noticed more white and less black, and more muted red, and much less fear of humans. The period of curiosity is now past and they are as reclusive as the adults, however, it did last longer then in past years, 2 weeks instead of a week.
