MISCHIEVOUS FOX CUBS

A mischievous fox cub demonstrates his playful side by biting his sibling’s tail. Spending the afternoon playing with their brothers and sisters, the San Joaquin kit fox cubs roll around in the grass and chase after one another as they enjoy the sun in Bakersfield, California. These adorable photographers were captured by American physician and photographer Peter Pieslor, 66, after he spent hours observing the fox family.
