Red Fox of Hokkaido

 One of the item on the checklist for most nature visitors to Hokkaido must be the Red fox.  

After meeting my very first red fox in Notsuke Peninsula , I am more than happy to see them again in the coming days of my stay in Hokkaido.

Red fox of Hokkaido or Ezo red fox are slightly larger than Japanese red fox that can be found in other part of Japan. Beside larger in size, another difference is their outer part of the ear and the limbs are  black.

Of my one week in Hokkaido, I am lucky enough to see them in the garden.

I also spotted one at the sea side.

I saw them in the forest too.

Several occasions, I saw them in the open field when we were traveling on the highway. I never get enough to watch and photograph them in action. Do you?
