Who Are You Wearing?

One fox sibling wraps its tail playfully around the other, reminiscent of a scarf. Seeing wild animals so endearing may inspire people not to wear furs, because why as an intelligent species would we want to remove that creature's life for our own pleasure. Each living creature is a gift of experience in this universe. Here you can see the pure joy these creatures share. They exhibit such love for each other, despite living in one of the harshest desert environments in Simpson Springs, Dugway, Utah. The animals are standing atop one of their collective dens, and soon after this shot retire underground to escape the heat of the day.
