Big-mouth fox!


The vixen appears to have elastic jaws. No matter how much food is in her bowl, she manages to scoop up the lot in one go and carry it off to her cubs.

All four cubs are doing well. They are just over half her size now and soon she will be chucking them out of the den and forcing them to fend for themselves. I wonder if any of them will fight her for the very well supplied territory of our garden? It's been hers for the last year, so I should think she'd win.

What IS that in the fox's mouth?

It's a load of chicken scraps that didn't make it into a curry and got too old to eat!

Oh! It looked like a ball of icecream.
