A pair of snarling foxes go paw-to-paw and brawl after unexpectedly crossing paths. Leaping towards each other and baring their teeth, the territorial red foxes were caught settling their disagreement by photographer Menno Schaefer. The 47-year-old, of Amsterdam, Holland, witnessed the fight in Zandvoort, whilst on a walk through the Dutch town's sand dunes.
