2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Red Fox, GMUG National Forest, United States of America
Sly Fox

Species: Red Fox | Location: GMUG National Forest, United States of America

I've always thought of my spirit animal as being a fox. I see them fairly frequently (not too out of the ordinary), but I have also had a number of very intriguing interactions with them. This one defined the nickname 'sly fox,' as he lured me away from my pack and then sprinted back, grabbed a can, and tried to make off with it. This is a 'standoff' moment while he still had the can--I recovered the can shortly after and we both went our separate ways.
