Two Camera Trap Tails



Red fox in front yard with mange on tail
(click on picture for larger image). Note skin and bone at the base of his tail. This is a new fox that has recently appeared -- he's not in good overall condition. The misery of mange will, no doubt, progress and lead to his death. This is how animals die in the woods -- it is not with classical music and a morphine drip, as the lunatic animal-rights folks would have the children believe.




Gray fox in front yard.
This is the first photo of a gray fox I have gotten with the camera trap so far. I hope for more some shots of this fellow now that he knows dinner is being served! Gray fox, unlike red, can climb trees as quick as a cat. Though called a fox, and appearing very similar, they are not, in fact, a true Vulpes, and are not too closely related.
