Fox on a mission

[tailnbone]

I snapped a few shots of this little one from my truck. I first noticed it down in the ditch. It was kinda comical. I stopped the truck and it ducked down, then raised its head to peek and see if I was still there. It did this a few times then went on about its business. There was definitely something in the weeds on the edge of this cornfield though and he wasn't leaving without it.

Yeah, he did look pretty scraggly. He was still wandering around as I looked in my rearview mirror.

if i knew how to photoshop, i woulda put Todds head on that fox . seems to me most reds i see are always skinny. the greys i see are generally much healthier looking .

He looks sick to me. In the middle shot, he has a very unthrifty look to him. That posture isn't normal and his hair is too straggly. Plus, it's not normal for any fox to stand and look at a car that close.

Rock,
That was the same impression I got when I saw him. Too skinny, too scraggly and maingy looking. Something just wasn't quite right.

Not much hair on that sucker. He looks bad. Especially with that hind-end falling down & hunched over look.
Most reds here look much fatter and 'fluffier,' particularly this time of year.
