The silver fox curiously gazed towards Carol Ann as she photographed the cute creature. NEWFOUNDLAND, CANADA: THIS VOLE?s attempts to befriend a fox were short-lived after it became breakfast just seconds after introducing itself. In one image, the 22-pound silver fox peered down towards the four-inch-tall friendly rodent who seemed to look up to the fox with curiosity. In another, the fox looked to be momentarily playing with the vole before grabbing it with its sharp teeth and swallowing the poor rodent whole. Photographer Carol Ann Ryan (61) from Newfoundland, Canada, captured the images near the region?s Signal Hill which overlooks the city of St. John?s. Carol Ann stood several hundred feet away as she watched the silver fox wander along the path for 30 minutes looking for voles to snack on. Silver foxes account for around 10 per cent of fox populations. They are solitary animals and will usually roam one territory. When threatened, they will ?gekker? which sounds like chuckling. Carol Ann captured the images using a Nikon D750 camera and a Nikon 200-500 lens. / Carol Ann Ryan
