Not an amazing post but felt should share it.
I was watching TV last night, I saw something out the corner of my eye and it was beautiful majestic fox in the garden!!Absolutely beautiful, wish it had stayed for longer.
Wish you had taken a picture. Lucky you. Foxes are majestically beautiful animals. I've seen a number of them in the woods, but never under such homey circumstances as you describe.
I did think of getting a camera and taking a piccy but realised I didnt have one and the flash would have scared it away.
It carried itself in a perfect line, its head tail and spine were perfectly straight.Ahhh, the joys of nature.
Except squirrels who I hold responsible for stealing a part of my bird feeder rendering it unusable.
Foxes are becoming urban animals--unfortunately for free-roaming house cats.
Foxes along with cats are the largest reason for environmental extinction of animals in Australia.
I thought you were talking about the strip club.
We have seen a fox in our yard often. Beautiful, but strange since we live in a city.
Linkat, see Noddy's post above. Foxes are fast becoming urban animals, at least in the USA. (Along with skunks and raccoons.) A couple of years ago I saw one crossing the road in broad daylight (around 19 or 11 a.m.) in Chestnut Hill, MA, a Boston suburb.
And so aren't deer - I have an aunt that has deer come through her yard all the time and eat from her garden - she lives in Brockton even more urban than Chestnut Hill. Any where there is a patch of woods you see all sorts of wildlife you never used to see.
We were even visited by a coyote - in Quincy, MA.
