So i look out of my office door and what do i see 15m away!
Before i go any further im sitting at Kabul Airbase in a secure compound with a ISO container we use as a recreation room. Underneath it a female fox has decided to take up home. She has had 4 cubs and they are now getting bolder. Around 3, when it gets cooler they start to come out and drink from the plastic box we have put out. A few of us in the compound starting feeding tit-bits but not enough to make them dependent. Some of us have seen the female leave at night and come back with food.
We know sooner or later they will have to go but in this country wildlife dont get a good deal so its little something to keep the morale up!
Kids at home already want me to bring 1 or 2 back with me......not too sure Dubai customs on the stopover will be too pleased with that!!!

Nice little clip. I'd love to have fox cubs in my garden as they're very cute and entertaining.

Have a feeling yours are actually Golden Jackals but happy to be proven wrong.

Hope they all survive and thrive!

Good vid.

Saw two UK baby foxes on the side of a road a few weeks ago. Didn't hear us coming on foot round a bend and got within 10ft for about 30secs. Impossibly pretty creatures at that age.

They look like baby Jackals, not sure if they range that far north though
