Fox Cubs Gekkering

Two sibling cubs/kits, summer 2021. Encounter begins at 0:40 with some fun posturing and vocalisations.
Cub#4 is on the left and Cub#5 on the right.
Cub#5 was the dominant bully of this year's litter of three cubs/kits.
He spent most of his childhood with a bad limp and did not disperse from the fox family until February 2022. He has a banana-shaped tail and very pointy ears. He was quite brave around me when very small but became the most shy of his litter of three by mid summer.
Cub#4 was very bold around me and would nip my shoe to ask for treats when she was a bit older. She was the third fox to do this, after Miss Fox and Cub#6. She was the middle of the litter to disperse in winter 2021.
Vulpes vulpes, the European Red Fox, is the largest urban wild animal most Brits will see in their lifetimes.
They are the world's most successful and widespread canid.
UK urban foxes only began to colonise our towns and cities in the 1930s.
