This was the first ever gray fox I've seen in it's natural habitat. He was hanging out on the edge of the trail. I was amazed he stood still enough for me to get a good shot (and even more amazed that this came out despite it being pre-dawn light and me without a tripod!)
Obviously, I have a soft spot for these guys. I happen to know this one hangs around here a lot because I spent a good deal of winter looking at it's tracks in the snow. This is the first time we meet face to face though.

I've had fox kits that were 4 to 5 months old lay in the middle of the road in the south west side of the island in the late summer... It's also common to see them sunning on any number of rock out cropping there as well. I've sat out there and had kits come up and sniff me and had a couple of the adults almost as close.

I think most wild animals know full well they are being watched. there was that one docu where they followed a female jaguar through the brasilian jungles for a year around. at one point, during monsoon, they had to sit out in their little camouflaged tent filming the jaguar who was lying low underneath a large, flat rock forming a cave, with her head on a paw, and looking into the camera's eye. and I swear she was smiling...
