Awwwwwww!

An endearing sight on Santa Cruz Island was this Island Fox. He was hoping for a handout, but we had been cautioned by rangers not to feed him.

  2. Poor little foxy. However, I'm sure they are right to discourage feeding them or they will continue to get closer to people and dogs, etc.

  3. Hi Val,
    He's a cutie, I'd want to feed him too. He looks like he's just sitting there waiting for someone to feed him. Great shot! Have a great day!

  7. Wow--foxes are usually shy, so to have snagged such a shot is cool.

  9. Two people got bit in Cary, NC this week by a fox. They are usually rabid too. Nice pic though! The Red Fox is the state animal of NC. They were or are endangered.

  10. He really is a bold little fox, obviously some people have given into his charm and good looks and have fed him. A nice opportunity though to get a nice shot!

  12. It is unfortunate when the wild animal forgets how to be wild and depends on handouts as easy dinners. Such a cute little fox though! Great capture!

  13. Hard to resist but so much better for them if they are left to thier own devices, Look at the trouble Our Dingoes on Fraser Island can get into due to handouts.
