For my #SmallDiscoverySunday this week I want to share what I’ve learned by running a camera on a fox den for the last few years. First, fox puppies are cute! This pic is from this week (1/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1246425057687207939?s=20
Second, even though they are in a neighborhood, with lots of potential anthropogenic foods, the parents mostly bring home natural foods - top menu item is cottontail rabbits (2/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1243987311710408706?s=20
The pupping season is in full swing right now, so follow @CamTrapLive to see what happens next. I’ll probably never write a paper about this one den, but its been fun to share what I’ve learned on this #SmallDiscoverySunday (12/12) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1246889489957617664?s=20
At least once the coyote was able to steal some food from the foxes, who gave chase.(9/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1106904886460014592?s=20
They even brought in a big bunny one Easter morning! #easterbunny (3/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/584684897899544576?s=20
Squirrels are probably the 2nd most common prey (4/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1109509954493472769?s=20
There is a lake nearby and the foxes have brought back a duck a few times (5/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/995497574302961664?s=20
Every year a coyote sneaks around the den site (7/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1107448562911186946?s=20
Usually the foxes bark the coyote. Not sure if they are trying to scare it away, or just let it know they know what its up to. (10/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1106904586600751105?s=20
Every once in a while they bring in a roadkill, but normally it looks like a fresh kill #predators #carnivores (6/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1244628539502182401?s=20
Coyote tries to get into the hole and kill the pups, but its too big (8/n) https://twitter.com/camtraplive/status/1109599180698324994?s=20
