Three swift fox kits look at the camera while one of their parents stands by in the background.
Since early fall of 2016, Clemson University and collaborators have been in northeast Montana investigating the behavioral ecology and the population dynamics of the swift fox. Currently, it is pup-rearing season and we are performing surveys to estimate the litter size of foxes in this area.
On average, swift foxes give birth to three-to-four kits beginning in mid-May and both the female and male provide parental care. If you have seen or know of any active dens in northern Blaine, Phillips, or Valley counties please contact Jessica Swift at (571) 288-6633, your help is greatly appreciated.
