Spotted from car, stayed far away but visual for several minutes. Looked healthy, curious but cautious.

"5-6 Red foxes were observed - two parents and about 4 pups. Only two of the pups were brave enough to come out of hiding and ""interact"" with humans."

Two of them (2nd shot ) at dusk. Rare to see so healthy...

What a wonderful sighting: mom with her 3 or 4 cubs emerging from their den in the evening sun, then dispersing in various directions for a little hunt, giving me plenty of opportunity to investigate the den and prey remains. I would appreciate IDs of the prey remains, which are partly added as separate observations: www.inaturalist.org/observations/1502261 www.inaturalist.org/observations/1502265

Two dead feral goat kids, both on the side of a man-made track through the regenerating bush, perhaps 20 meters apart. Didn't spot any obvious injuries, perhaps poisoned (ongoing possum poisoning in the area), or maybe ate some plant poisonous to them as young goats will do (though I'm not sure what native plants are that deadly). There used to be a goat farm nearby.

Sorry for the photo quality, observation was done under better light conditions. The animal was quite large and heavy built, with strong legs and a rather short tail, reasons for me to exclude L. wiedii. Photo courtesy of Patrick Lariault.

Such an odd species - no dorsal fin, long and thin body with tiny flukes only a foot across. But boy can they speed! First time seeing them today, what a treat. I posted a video to Facebook of them porpoising: https://www.facebook.com/robin.agarwal.14
