Description
A pair of young Red Foxes enjoy the warm sun outside of their den. Living on an island along the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina, the den is located at the base of a sand dune, Red foxes, Vulpes vulpes, are the largest of the true foxes. These lovely animals feed on small mammals, birds and reptiles, as well as fruit and vegetables when available.
This color photograph was made on one of the islands that lies within the boundaries of the Rachel Carson Estuarine Reserve across Taylor's Creek from Beaufort, North Carolina. Other mammals found on these small barrier islands include raccoons and wild horses. Black bears have been known to visit the reserve.
