Wildlife photographer Einar Gudmann caught the violent encounter on camera while he was camping in Iceland . After emerging into bitter sub-zero temperatures from his tent he spotted a female and male fox copulating . But the pair were n't alone - a third Arctic fox lurked nearby and wasted no time in battling his rival for the female . The losing fox was seen by the photographer limping off up a snowy hill and was n't expected to the night .
