What’s a fawn gotta do to get a little rest around here?
Pale Fox, Dolly’s mate and the father of 3 sleek and beautiful kits, is fascinated by our motherless fawns. We’ve seen him trying to play with them on numerous occasions – he races around, running up and down trees and generally showing off. He seems (to us) to want to engage with them.
Sadly for Pale Fox, the fawns pretty much ignore him: “Silly fox. What’s he doing?”.
This time, out on the field, one of the fawns was lying in front of a camera so we were able to capture their brief encounter. Pale Fox climbed a little branch beside the fawn, and then hopped down and poked the fawn in the butt with his nose before scampering off. Silly fox, indeed.
