Fox gave birth to 8 pups in the area of our back yard. This is one of many videos. This pup was the most active of all.
For the full video, look here, you won’t be disappointed.
The second video shows, even at this early stage of life, competition for food is paramount. A small farm about a mile from us, surrounded by a fence, has one less guinea fowl hen. Apparently the vixen did a little hunting for the pups. Watch how the pup seems to have control of the situation but not for long, seems like a bit of trickery going on here.
Training Day
Below, video shows Mom, with a small bird, apparently a quail. Mom buries the critter near the den to teach the pups some hunt and gathering skills.
