A mama fox and her two adorable babies live in this den. One youngster poked their head out when I whistled. Later, the two kits were playing in the woods and stopped to eat when their mother brought them a plump mouse. Mamma fox didn’t stick around long, watching briefly as her youngsters picked the mouse up and dropped it, pawed at it, and looked quizzically at it, before entering into a wrestling match, seemingly forgetting about their tasty meal. About that time, their mother scampered into the brush on another hunt.
