Red Fox - Vulpes vulpes (2)


A Red Fox leaping. When these canines spot a mouse or vole, they'll leap straight up in the air and pounce on top of their prey like a cat.

For awhile a couple years ago, we had a fox make a run through our back yard, every day around 4:00 pm. I haven't seen it at all this year. I hope he's OK. Maybe he just his switched hunting patrol route.
