With four young cubs to nurse, this fox vixen doesn't get a lot of rest. This timelapse taken from cameras hidden in an underground nest gives you a day in the life of a fox mum.
Fox family's secret life underground
These fox cubs were filmed using hidden cameras in a red fox den and covers 20 hours into 10 minutes. Here the cubs are around four months old. Watch as they tumble over her, only occasionally joining her in her much-needed nap. The vixen clearly has her work cut out!

Honestly, I can’t even describe the depth of my feelings of awe & appreciation for nature, every aspect of its multi-structured perfection! Thus condensed video was absolutely beautiful! It’s a stunning reminded of how naturally devoted the species are surviving! I also could sympathize with the mother fox, her resilience & responsibilities are never ending! Imagine trying to rest & sleep, before having to go out to hunt, while your babies are bouncing, tumbling, rolling, playing all over you! That alone is exhausting! I felt like that when sleeping with my 18 month old granddaughter for 2-3 nights, while my daughter was having her 2nd baby at the hospital. It took my several days to recover from sleep deprivation!!!
Thank you for what you do & for your absolute love of nature! We are lucky to benefit from your kindness & skill!
