By a Cow!!!!  Chrissy's heifer calf is back with the herd today....  I guess the cow had bedded that calf down in the grass where I couldn't see her, and was pacing the fence to keep the fox out.

sigh.

That's really cool! I find it interesting that a cow is smart enough to hide a calf so effectively.

I had a feeling about that. Since a fox tops out at about 15 lbs, I just couldn't imagine one dragging a calf off.

It was a Scottish fox, but the one we saw at Edinburgh Castle was probably 25 or 30 pounds. It was about twice as big as the ones we see behind our house sometimes. Definitely a fox, not a dog... I was looking down on it from about 20 feet up as it rummaged through the garbage bins. I have to say that a wild fox is the last thing I would have expected to find at Edinburgh Castle!

*giggle* But at least it was the cow and not the fox... ;-)

perhaps you should name the calf "Moodini II"?

and perhaps I should name her 'pain-in-my-ass'....except that's too long to fit on the registration.

I was used to the smaller red foxes back east, but the first time that I saw a gray fox here in New Mexico I swore it was a coyote. This guy was in our back yard, munching on apples that had fallen from our apple tree. He looked like a medium large (say 30 pounds) dog.
