Arctic Fox cubs playing

Hi all, I don't know how this will look on your monitor as it looks OK on my laptop, but a bit dark on the monitor down here at the university here in Longyearbyen (Svalbard). I just got back from a boat trip further north to Ny Alesund and two days ago and this is one of the pictures I got there. There was a pair of Arctic Foxes nesting under one of the houses and 7 cubs were playing around.

Jasper:

I'm a sucker for baby animals, and this one caused a major spike on the "cuteness" meter! Love everything about it. Great compo, good technicals and an adorable moment.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's cute!

I'm a sucker for baby animals, too, and this is just great. Really good catch on this; I'm sure they weren't sitting still!

I love this image! You've captured them in a frisky frolicky behavior and I think that it really makes the image! Well done!
