Haha well these are mostly city slickers. They don't see foxes much and all the outdoors stuff I've done for decades I've never seen a fox before myself. Coyotes here and there but not foxes. To some people a skunk is scary which is funny, but the fox was unexpected so all the kids were on edge.
I don't doubt a mama bear instinct that's for sure, but they had us 3 so they didn't need to do any of that. I know two or three of the moms would've stepped up if they had to though!
