found these three foxes interesting. The largest one is a male, he appears young and plays like he's one of the kits, but is much larger than the next smallest in this den. There are one, maybe two, more the same size as the one on the left and then there is the tiny little guy. The little one is active and alert, he is the obvious instigator of all the altercations and play between the pups. He appears healthy but his coat is dull and "wooly". I do not know if it is usual to have so much size difference between young foxes from the same den.
I wonder if it would make a better comp if cropped to a vertical thus eliminating the pup on the left.
