Almost a Teenager

Just a short clip of an adventurous foxcub whom I spotted trotting up an unpaved road and into a garden this evening :smile:

I'm sure this cub is one of the litter of five which I filmed some time ago, although he clearly feels that he doesn't need the comfort of vulpine company now. Well, sort of :wink:



Cubs do certainly start getting bolder around this time of year, and their physique is changing too. They still have the disproportionately large heads and thin baby tails, but are just starting to take on a lankier look. They've got much growing up to do before the autumn :right:

He's so cute.

:smile:

Isn't he just! :smile: Trying to be an adult, but not quite there yet. But he has already learnt that foxes never stand when they could sit. He was practicing that skill in the lane before dashing into the garden :wink:

The way he runs from that filed shows he is still a kid :D

@Darko - probably, but some foxes never get particularly courageous :wink:

Adele 30. June 2009, 21:57

@Nic - there is such a thing as a non-nosy fox? :eyes:

:D

Adele 30. June 2009, 21:58

@Erwin - I think he'll do well. He's inquisitive, but still cautious :smile:

Very sweet little thing, and a nice clip to get. :smile:

Adele 30. June 2009, 22:28

Thanks Words :smile: It was a nice bonus. Didn't really expect to see a cub that close to the lane!

Real teenager - so brave... for a short time... than - afraid of something and hide in panic... than, maybe, brave and ready for world exploration again!

I guess not Adele p:

Adele 1. July 2009, 22:09

@Denis - thinking of an adult vixen I knew who was bold enough with people, but absolutely paranoid of magpies, I think some foxes never quite get past that stage :wink:
