Mammals of Lake Nakuru National Park
Bat Eared Fox Portrait

I was excited to find the den of these cute creatures one morning on the South edge of the lake. They were quite skittish but I parked the car about 40 metres away and as I was alone, did not make any noise. After a while, curiosity took over and I saw little heads peeping over the little hill and I managed to spend about 30 wonderful minutes with them, taking a lot of pictures.
