Red fox
A feral red fox followed close behind as I walked along a valley in the
Flinders Ranges. It must have had little contact with humans as it continued
to approach as I lay on the ground aiming the camera. She then just sat
down and watched me from 5 meters away. A beautiful animal, but we'd be
better off without it in Australia.
