I love your picture, Willem.
The whole scene is suffused with warm colours, and the grace and beauty of the animal is well conveyed.

That cute little fox has ears big enough to pick up signals from space!

Hello Minorvogonpoet, Bob and Paulh! I'm glad you like my little foxie. Paulh, it is pretty much South Africa's version of the Fennec!

I wish we had them in North America, too.

You have these cuties:

Their ears are not quite as large. The hotter the climate, the larger the ears.

This picture of the gray fox is very cute, so I'm happy to have it here, even if it will tend to stay hidden more than the red fox
