Just four cubs having a foxy pillow fight! 🦊😂 Have you ever wondered why pillows, laundry items, shoes and toys just disappear from your garden?! The answer is that eager fox parents may take these items to their fox cubs to play with. Fox mum Spring dragged a large cushion into the re-wilded cemetery for her youngsters to demolish and have endless fun with. 🐾 The cubs shake, rip and drag the cushion and pounce, push and roll over again and again during play. This teaches them agility and strength and how to hunt as well as how to quarrel with an opponent. It only took them a couple of days to totally demolish the big cushion and you can see in mum’s face that she must be thinking: “I better find some new toys for my babies to keep them entertained” before she enjoys a much-needed slumber on the pile of pillow stuffing. 🧡 My fave bit is when one cub tumbles over and is laying on they back, little flailing legs in the air, looking all puzzled. What is yours? #fox #foxes #cubs #cemeteryfoxes #wildlife
