Little Predator
At about 6 pounds, this swift fox vixen is the size of a housecat. However, as their name suggests, she is plenty quick. This 13-lined ground squirrel found out the hard way. The foxes are primarily nocturnal, but can be seen in the daylight hours more often this time of year as they hunt more frequently to bring food home for the kits. Seen in the Pawnee National Grasslands, CO.
