Fox series
Daddy fox is very neat with his food, and chews it one piece at a time. We never see them just gobble or gulp their food.
What surely can charm us about foxes is that they are monogamous. A male (dog) and a female (vixen) form a pair bond and mate in the winter. After the female gives birth in the spring, both parent foxes raise the pups (kits).
In autumn, the young disperse and the parent foxes wander off as solitary hunters---foxes are not pack animals like dogs and wolves. But come winter, the parent foxes come back together to raise another litter of pups. The mated pair repeats this cycle for life.
@Baldwin VW: Not threatening at all - just happily chewing his food. Thanks.
@Judy aka L@dybug: Thanks, Judy. We got a look out the window at a mom with a baby for just a few seconds about six tonight. We think she was moving it to a different den location. She came back at eight to eat, but no baby. Keep your fingers crossed that she will bring it back. We've just got 4 more days to see them before we go out of town. Friends will fed them some, but I really hope to see babies before we go.
@Jerry: So, Jerry, are you thinking I should get a table and dishes for the foxes too? ;-))) And the guy says "breakfast in Texas". Wow, that is amazing. Thanks for sending the link.
