Description
I was overjoyed to be able to watch a Swift Fox family, with the kits running and playing. Then the dad came to join in and the babies ran to greet him. Here's one that seems to be expressing love, affection and joy at his arrival; so sweet! This little one is about six or seven weeks old.
The swift fox is a small fox around the size of a domestic housecat. It received the name "swift" fox because of its speediness, which I witnessed! Swift foxes are nocturnal, vocal and non-territorial. They spend more time underground in their burrows than any other canid. Although they are social animals, they keep one mate throughout their lifetime.
Although they used to be common and widely distributed in western grasslands and prairies of the Great Plains, such as in Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, swift foxes have experienced significant population declines and are now estimated to occupy less than half of their historic range in the United States. The main problem is conversion of grasslands into agricultural land.
