The fox! My Estonian mother loved them.
You have an estonian mother? Damn didnt know that
This red fox is a breed unique to Estonia I have been told
I have been told that I am mistaken. I believe I mistook name, as I know one of the foxes, a blond one, was unique to Estonia. I heard this from a hunter and game warden who was born 1906 in Estonia.
Wow I am deeply amazed by these wonderful pictures!
