Keep practicing, little guy

At first glance, these red fox kits might look like they’re just enjoying playtime in a field, but this is serious business. The kits are actually practicing crucial hunting skills. Called ‘mousing,’ a fox jumps high so it can surprise its prey from above. These little guys are going to get the hang of it pretty quickly, too. Baby foxes grow up very fast—after only about a year they're roughly fully grown and ready to leave their den. This pair is about four months old, which is just about when they’ll get pushed out to hunt for themselves.
