Interesting fact about the bat-eared fox — the males are the primary care givers to the young, unlike most other canines. The mothers will lactate for about 15 weeks, after which the males take over grooming, defending, huddling, chaperoning, and carrying the young between den sites. I photographed this bat-eared fox in the Masai Mara of Kenya on a rainy afternoon. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/250th of a second
Nicely captured! I love the soft green hue in the background. The rainy day probably explains the “just applied mousse” look on the fox’s back. Roughly what time of day was this image taken, Sean?
