The second is on a low-glow camera with noticeably better resolution.
The cubs seem to get on well with each other and sit happily side by side. The play fights help develop their muscles and reflexes and hone their hunting skills.

Playfighting
Getting decent video of the fox cubs on the trail cameras is a real challenge. The den has many interconnected entrances and the adults rarely come near an entrance with a camera, perhaps because they know the camera is there. There is often only one cub and if a second one appears they dash off out of view. I'll keep experimenting but in the meantime here are a couple of videos. The first is recorded on a no-glow camera.

An extra special treat for your readers, Chistopher. Those playful little cubs are a joy to watch!
ReplyDeleteThey are difficult to catch on video Florence. They mostly run out of view or sit and do nothing. I am now trying with a slightly longer wider view to see if I can catch more behaviour in daylight. It will have to be soon as they grow up so quickly.
