Fox Chases the Chicken

On the top of this granite are two boulders. One resembles a fox and the other a chicken. The vivid image of a fox chasing a chicken earned it the name "Fox Chases the Chicken". It was formed when the granite body was cut by several sets of fractures (joints) and further affected by differential weathering, runoff erosion and gravitational collapse.
