💞 Happy Valentines day from this adorable pair of gray foxes, enjoying date night with a sip from our bird bath. ✨ Fun Facts about the Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus): 🦊 Gray foxes mate in February or March, raising 3-7 kits in a brush or tree stump den. While mama keeps them cozy, papa hunts rabbits and mice. The family stays together until late fall before going their separate ways for winter. 🔗 Read more here: https://bit.ly/4hUb2lU #BeMine #ValentinesDay #LoveIsInTheAir #SanAntonioRiver #SanAntonioRiverAuthority #OurRiverWay #SafeCleanEnjoyable
