Karate Swan Meets Arctic Fox



Mama doesn’t want any part of the young arctic fox who is courting the young swan at the left. The fox knows well the damage that can be inflicted by those giant wings. He gave up and left after some thought.

Smart fox. Only a foolish fox, or foolish anything really, would tackle a grown swan. Cool moment in time, Randy.

That's awesome. Swans are crazy. I was at the zoo one time, and I was trying to feed a swan and it hissed at me!!! Swans are so deceptive :P You got a great shot though!

P.S.

Is it just me or do I suddenly have this strange obsession with sharing all my weird encounters bird?
