Usually when an elk wanders into frame it’s a good thing. In this case, not so much. I was in Zion National Park and caught this gray fox early in the morning, posing on several fallen trees before heading out to hunt for voles. As for the elk, she stuck around for a few shots where she was the center of attention. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/160th of a second.

Biologically speaking, is a Gray Fox sexier or less sexy than a Silver Fox?
If you had not mentioned the elk I would not had noticed its legs. Beautiful fox, thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful animal. The downed tree trunk makes for a wonderful pedestal. It’s as though the tree & gray fox were meant for each other!
Thanks Sue. I see so many more red fox than gray so this was a special sighting for me.
