Gray Foxes are some of the most common mammals that we encounter in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. Whilst in the Hormiguero camp, it was cool to see a small family of them hanging out within the Mayan ruins on surveys. Although usually solitary, young gray foxes can stay with their mother for several months before venturing out on their own. Here were two of the juveniles keeping a watch from the edge of the forest as we walked past.
