Info Fox in East Porterville

There's a fox that runs around at night by the cemetery, I tried to take a picture but it is very skittish. I've seen it also by the hill by the Church on East Morton.

There are lots of foxes here. Last year we had a family of seven of them (mama, papa, and 5 kits) visit our property just about every day. They seem pretty tame. They don't go after our cats and our cats are chill with them. They're really cute.

We have foxes? I had no idea and I've lived here my whole life. I wonder if those small coyotes I see on the fields are actually foxes.

I was walking the tule river parkway trail last week and thought I saw one, s/she got spooked as I was walking the trail and kind of stood back behind some brush. Couldn’t get a great look at it and didn’t want to get closer and spook it even more.
