| Description | In a photo taken September 13, 2010 at around 4 a.m., a Sierra Nevada red fox looks up at bait-filled sock attached to a tree, triggering an remote infrared camera to take its picture. Branches surround the fox and a band containing small wire gun-cleaning brushes encircles the tree below the bait sock. These brushes are placed specifically to extract a small sample of fur for DNA analysis. This gives us a backup in case we are unable to get a saliva sample from the bait bag. Saliva samples degrade after a week whereas DNA from fur samples remain viable for centuries.
