Playful, Elusive Foxes Took Years to Capture on Camera | National Geographic

It took several trips to South Dakota's grasslands over the course of three years for photographer Michael Forsberg to build up a collection of images of the elusive swift fox. With camera traps and a lot of patience, Forsberg chronicled playful pups and their predator parents in their natural environment. He calls it the most remarkable experience of his life.
