Only the Nose Knows

Two fox kits siblings greet each other by touching noses, otherwise known as "nose boops." The kits are between six and eight weeks old and are part of a skulk of 10. It was a very warm day this spring when the little ones appeared from their den's hole. But instead of going into their usual play fighting, the heat made them a bit sluggish. So instead it was a greeting as they emerged from the hole before they laid sprawled out in the heavy brush. Foxes touch noses for several reasons, among them communication, as a greeting and a way to show trust and affection. Insta: @danidmedia
