The Swift Fox (Vulpes velox) kits became accustomed to us enough, and had also grown up enough, by the third day to start playing. The den was surrounded by lots of brush which was good for their privacy and protection but frustrating for photography. Most of the action was obscured, but occasionally they would play in a good location, and one time both of their faces were visible. Enjoy!
