TJE, she's a real beauty! Thanks for the pictures.
Yes CK, they are, all of "ours"..belonging to everyone & no one but "our" mother earth...just like all of us! heh heh! whoa! that's too deep! LOLReally nice pictures TJE....looks like she waiting for something/someone....yes, sad that mama hasn't come back so far. But nature has a way of working everything out...so all will be well no matter. White cheeks may be scouting out his new territory, males probably have a much wider range. She's a beauty just like her mother and yes, looks ready for colder weather. It's been near freezing here at night, but warm/hot in the day still. Thanks so much TJE for keeping us updated on "our" foxes, at least it sort of feels that way now...lol
Heh heh, free range chickens are the best tasting TR!...guess "any" meat-eaters think the same!She looks like shes not liking that weather very much. A little fox shot across me on Interstate 70 coming home last Friday night. I saw it crossing just in time to slow down. It's a bad time of the year on the roads for wildlife. It's that time of the year to put the feeding on overtime for wildlife. Yesterday I was in the back yard and herd the neighbors chicken all up in a ruckus. I thought a cat or something was after them. I looked over the fence and saw a hawk had them all in a corner of the yard. I yelled at it and it took one look at me at got the heck out of there. About a year ago the city ok'd it for folks to have as many as 5 egg layers in the residential districts here. The words out in the raccoon, skunks and birds of prey networks about all the good eats to hit up around here now. Most the neighbors keep their chicken in small caged areas, but this guy next door lets them roam around his back yard. I've seen these foxes around here leap some tall fences...Oh well! ain't my chickens.

Yeah, think 'white cheeks'(momma's boy) got an 'eye opener' when/whatever fate took place...hope to see them "together" again as winter closes in (couple months).
Hard to say tr777, don't know/not seen foxes down south...she's probably 14-16 inches at the shoulder (full grown males closer to 20 inches or more)...But then again!...recall what a friend visiting from England said a few years ago...she said "seems like everything is larger in Canada"ha ha...true story.TJE, is she as large as she appears in the pictures? I always thought of a fox as being a bit smaller. Maybe they're bigger in your part of the country.
I've heard talk of coyote X with wolves CK, but not fox X with coyotes. Yes, body size is larger (needed to produce enough heat/energy to last the longer winters) is what the experts say. Same for 'hooved' wild animals.Texasred is right...your foxes do look larger...we have grey ones here, but hardly ever see them. Didn't know about the cold making things larger, very interesting, wonder why, other than maybe eating more? Or...maybe they're a cross with coyote...lol Sort of kidding on that...but aren't there larger coyote's out your way TJE, that are crossed with wolves & so are larger?
