Description
To avoid bloodshed, foxes have developed a series of rituals to replace actual violent behaviour.
With a varity of vocalizations, like their very stereotypical �gekkering� and dominant or submissive postures, they make their statements very clear.
Instead of deploying their sharp teeth and claws, they rear up on their hind legs, lay their paws on the opponents shoulders, put down their ears and tail, and face each other with wide open mouths.
These wide mouths agape leave little to the imagination:
�Take a gooood look at these very sharp teeth, before considering another battle.
I�m being very friendly now, but the very next time we meet, I might as well use �em!'

Great shot, Roeselien! The clarity is striking. What focal length was this picture taken at, if I may ask?

Awesome shot, love the way you blurred the background!

Thanks, Robert! PS. The background isn't blurred, the softness is created with a tele lens and a large aperture . :)
