Texas Backyard Wildlife | Fox acrobatics: Dolly nursing 3 kits while perched on a tall stump | #shorts @TexasBackyardWildlife | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Last year, our resident mama fox, Dolly, had a single kit (or pup, if you prefer), Frances. This year (2024) she had 3.
Dolly often nursed Frances while perched on top of her favorite tall stump, and apparently she saw no reason to do things differently this year, even though the stump was no bigger and her little ones were. She sat there, grinning, while her kits flailed around desperately, trying to nurse AND stay on the stump. As you'll see, not everyone managed to hang in there. These stumps can be slippery little suckers, right?
