I am glad you liked it Shysal. Thank you for telling me the first link didn't work. I must upload that one again. There is a fabulous shot of the mother beseiged by five hungry cubs - it was one of the first I got, and it really chuffed me.

Thanks, Elegran, what energy the cubs had! No wonder the vixen looked haggard.

She looked noticeably better once they were weaned! They were still all over her whenever she reurned, but at least they weren't still suckling. No wonder she hot a bit nippy with them at times.

At first I thought I saw the father as well, they usually bring food for the vixen and the cubs, but when I was editing the videos and looking more closely, I decided that it was always her. So she was probably a single mother.
