I had a fun encounter with a red fox

I had a fun encounter with a red fox just south of Dacotah Ridge Golf Club recently. Minnesota has two kinds of foxes, red and the less familiar gray. Red Foxes can run up to 31 mph, jump over six feet and can swim. A foxes forepaws have five toes while their hind feet only have four.
