A cute fellow traveler posed for this photo before setting off that morning from the youth hostel. Since she was on a motorcycle, I pointed to her yellow friend and asked "Doesn't he get in the way?" and she admitted "Yeah, he does."

The "great animal shot" of this trip. Judging by the thing around its neck, I'm assuming that this particular fox is being tracked for wildlife monitoring purposes - and that may explain why I was able to get so close.
