Front- and hindfoot of a roadkill
Canadian red fox.

Fresh red fox tracks in loose snow,
North River, CBH.


Just outside Butteryhaugh (Kielder Forest, UK) this fox was encountered while crossing the
road. It showed nofear, played around and ignored us totally while being watched.

The second largest canine in the Canadian province Nova Scotia and the largest in Great Britain is the Red Fox. Although seperate populations they belong to one and the same species. Tracks of canines can be recognized from cat tracks by the footprint that always leaves marks of the non-retractable claws.

From a distance this fox was observing the
intruder of its territory for several minutes after crossing its trail, North River, CBH.
