portions for foxes
amongst the cats, bears and monkeys at senda verda there was also a fox. he had a special enclosure close to where we slept, and we had to feed him at the end of each day. despite doing this quite a few times, i barely saw him. this was partly because he was nocturnal, so didn't really hang about during the day. but also because he was incredibly timid - meaning whenever you entered his enclosure he usually eyed you up from the opposite end. because of this experience i felt especially fortunate to see this wild andean fox when i was going through the paracas national reserve after my trip to the ballestas islands. i assume that he was particularly hungry as it's unusual for them to be out and about at mid-afternoon. he also didn't seem overly bothered by us slowly advancing as he munched on his bird carcass. this was as close as i got before he decided to retreat, and is marginally clearer than my previous fox photo.
