On my recent trip to Slovenia for Penda Photo Tours as well as the bears we also had a wonderful encounter with a family of foxes. Although we have foxes back home, where they are often viewed as pests, their behaviour in Slovenia is quite different. Here, they are primarily rural and forest-dwelling animals, sharing their habitat with large carnivores that are both natural predators and competitors.
Watching them in this wild setting was a real privilege. The vixen and her cubs cubs spent more than an hour playing, chasing each other, and exploring the area together. It was fascinating to observe their natural behaviour and a reminder of how different a species can seem when seen in its true environment rather than on the edge of human settlements.
