Fox captured barehanded

Catching the red fox barehanded as it's a problem for Australian wildlife - this pest has implicated in the extinction and decline of several native Australian species including ground-nesting birds, small to medium sized mammals and reptiles with additional significant economic losses to farmers by preying on newborn lambs, kid goats and poultry animals.

The fox is a cunning animal, his den is close by but with the right techniques he can't hide for too long without me finding his burrow - this European Red Fox gets a good bite on me but it releases quickly and I am able to show him off.

The fox was released safely and unharmed :)
