Foxes are found all across North America. This particular family lives in Princeton, NJ, clearly right in Phillip's backyard!

Though baby foxes are adorable, it's important to always maintain your distance and never feed them.

Approaching them is not only dangerous to your well-being, but might disrupt the foxes' way of life as well.

Photographing their cute antics from a safe distance is harmless, though, and always encouraged!
