The Beachcomber 5353
A red fox wanders across the dunes at IBSP in New Jersey. Foxes are omnivores, although the predominance of their diet includes small rodents. They are also scavengers, as anyone at ISBP will note. Due to the proximity of these animals and humans in this area, they have learned that sticking closely to humans will frequently lead to scavenged treats. It seems to be a common issue on beaches, where many gulls have learned to do the same thing. Despite their scavenging techniques, it does not appear that these animals will lose their hunting capabilities anytime soon. In fact, it is likely that the same proximity to humans that favor the survival of foxes and gulls, likely also favors the survival of some of their more common prey. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #America #USA #RedFoxes #Foxes #DrDADBooks #PickYourPark #Picoftehday #Photooftheday
