A momma Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) brings home dinner for her kits. As she approached the den, she locked eyes with me and I instantly felt her being--her tenacity and unwavering duty to her kits. She dropped off the meal to the babies and stood on top of her den, never breaking her fiery gaze--those golden eyes piercing deep into my soul. She was telling me to leave and I respectfully obliged, slowly backing off. She continued to watch me until she thought it was okay to retreat back into her den with her kits.
As I walked back to the car, I could not help but feel I had entered the mind of a fierce being. We had a conversation without words and had come to an understanding...respect must be earned and I still have a ways until I gain hers.
