11 May 2020, early evening.
One of two observed cubs emerged from the den. It played with a pine cone for a bit, stretched and looked around when it spotted a crow by the pond.
It adopted a stalking pose and the crow moved closer.
The crow then ran at fox, which ears set back retreated quickly. The fox retaliated and the crow flew off. The interaction occurred so quickly and unexpectedly it was not caught on camera.
