A third fox cub was also snapped by Shlomo Waldmann, 67, who took the heartwarming images after waiting three months for the perfect shots
The adorable animals seemed unaware that they were being photographed. Waldmann said he'd take several photos and they'd all come out slightly different
Father-of-three Waldmann, from Ramat Gan, Israel, said: 'I usually picture my grandchildren playing, but I started focusing on wildlife and noticed the likeness.
'I got up early in the morning every day for three weeks to photograph these desert foxes - it was very nice to take pictures of them when they were all together and interacting with each other.
'When I catch them with the background and the sunshine it's amazing.
'When they are older, they grow up and go to hunt by themselves but I don't find that so interesting. I've enjoyed watching them being fed by their mother.'
