14 DAY TRIAL // Photographer Igor Shpilenok loves spending time in the Kamchatka Peninsula, especially in the Kronotsky Nature Reserve. Here, he monitors a fox family, and takes pictures to document their daily routine.
The male fox is a bit of a rascal, so Igor Shpilenok has decided to name him Mr. Sneaky Evildoer.
“I nicknamed the male for all his sneaky antics – he stole my clothesline, chewed through my generator cable and made off with my broom,” the photographer explains, as cited by Daily Mail.
As “evil” as the male fox might be, it looks like one of his cubs is far worse.
Despite being only a few weeks old, the baby fox did not hesitate to sink his teeth into his dad's tail, presumably to prove that it too had game.
Igor Shpilenok says that, in just a few seconds, Mr. Sneaky Evildoer reminded the cub who was in charge, and the latter let go of his tail.
Still, something tells me it will not be long until he sneaks up on his old man again and delivers a well-placed bite.
