Photographer Randy Robbins captured rare footage of the Sierra Nevada red fox, a critically endangered species with a dwindling population of 18 to 39 in the wild. The footage was obtained through camera trapping techniques in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Robbins expressed joy at seeing the fox in broad daylight, recording three minutes of footage which is significant compared to typical fleeting glimpses of the animal. The Sierra Nevada red fox is considered one of the rarest mammals in the world, emphasizing the importance of this sighting.
"When I got it home on the computer was really when I realized this is special."
"This was three minutes of watching one just kind of lounging in the sun, and being a fox, which was pretty rare for [scientists] to see."
