These two bat-eared fox pups were playing just outside their den while their mother was out hunting for dinner. We watched as the mom headed off and then the pups became more animated but never strayed far from the safety of the den. Photographed in the Masai Mara of Kenya. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/80th of a second.
This is so adorable. Is there like a program or something where I could trade-in my child for a bat-eared fox pup? Oh please, she’d trade me for a hippo in a Masai minute.

Shardae, I don’t know how many times I need to tell, you have to leave the foxes where you find them.

you caught them In deep conversation.
No doubt Ribal. Clearing discussing what they thought about me.
Just adorable! I suspect the “big brother” is the one on left giving an “earful” to his sibling.
They do look like Bats therefore the name, you caught their playfulness to

This is too adorable for words.
Thanks Mary. It was one of my favorite encounters. Usually bat eared foxes are quite skittish around safari vehicles.
