Yes it actually snowed on us a couple times late in May while in Montana & Wyoming. This Fox just decided to lay down and wait it out.
The Fox situation at Yellowstone is kind of sad. We saw them running down roads among lines of cars begging for food which many people happily obliged them. We saw them jump up on a picnic table while 2 small children were eating. They have NO fear of humans....just not a good situation for people or the animals. Signs are everywhere warning people not to feed any of the animals and yet they do.
It's definitely not a good thing to feed wild animals. It doesn't help them in the slightest, and the food they get is not what the foxes need. Totally agree with Laura’s comment above.
He's a beautiful fox, what fantastic colouring - wonderful capture of the animal.
What a beautiful image of him. Tourists can be so stupid sometimes. We have the same situation here with dingoes on an island which is a reserve for them... Several have had to be put down because they've bitten people.
Magnificent capture of this sly fox. His coat is beautiful and he looks quite content laying there in the falling snow. Very sad to hear the fox are being fed by tourists. Not a good situation for the foxes health and safety.
