I don't think it felt too comfortable separated from its mom and also semi-surrounded by people some of whom were armed with cameras. All the camera gear was brought for the possibility of bird sightings along with the average turtle or frog. One guy had some pro gear and had the better position here, too! After three or four shots, I left them to it and went home. Here is one more:
His/her coat is still very fluffy. Must be very young. I feel sorry for the little thing
Steve,
It looks plenty sharp to me ....
A smart phone does not make for a necessarily smart owner ....
Yep, shame a time lapse wasn't set-up so we could've watched it die.
I am not sure of the source of your anger here but animals do die, most of the time out of our sight. There is a possibility this kit died but also a chance it survived this separation. Mothers do leave their young to return with food (maybe a baby rabbit). Others do not return. Bears are free to forage for their own food which might include such young foxes. Cars sometimes do run over foxes. Regardless of what happened to this particular fox, it is park policy to let nature take its course. There is no tagging or rescuing.
