The Swift Fox (Vulpes velox) kits at "our den" in the Pawnee National Grassland became much more comfortable with us around on my seventh day and they started to explore away from the den more and more. All four of the kits are visible in this image: two are playing, one is trying to ignore everything, and one is wondering if being an omnivore is a good idea. Enjoy!
