This image is from my ninth, and last, day a the Swift Fox (Vulpes velox) den in the Pawnee National Grassland. The kits had become so comfortable with me around that they not only didn't mind me approaching in the afternoon but one of the kits walked away from the den towards me as I approached. After I got settled, they started playing and I captured this kit beginning its pounce on one of its siblings. Enjoy!
