The road to Deadhorse

I am driving along and I spot this fox out in the open, I stop and she just stands there and looks at me. Not normal behavior for the usually shy fox. Then I noticed she was kind of looking in to the bushes nearby. I zoomed in where she was looking and saw a bunch of Kit's how cool! Mamma fox really didn't like me being there and she started to pretend to be hurt and laying down in the side road trying to draw me off. I moved on so she wouldn't move to far away from her babies.

That guard rail damage is not from a vehicle it was caused by an avalanche.
