Urban Foxie



I am AMAZED. i know i'm a countrylass but since WHEN is this normal!!?? it was so friendly and not at all scared of me...??
I have only seen two other foxes since i've been in Leicester. One from a taxi in the early hours (and i was so drunk i couldn't be sure if what i was seeing was real) and the other walking back from town i saw one jumping into a garden outside the Business campus. On the latter occassion i pointed this out to my housemate who was with me and she jumped when she saw what i was pointing and squeeling about so surely it can't be THAT common??!!
I guess i'm not so clued up on the apparent urban fox situation so excuse my nievity. I'm all for fox hunting back home, a lot of my friends do it regularly and it's just a normal thing but ive seen more foxes in Leicester than the Cotswolds... are they looking in the wrong place?!
I may have to rethink my opinions on the foxhunting issue. This fox was beautiful. I never knew this. I thought it was a cat at first, it behaved like a cat...

    You really haven't lived in the City long enough Izy. We see them all the time in Bristol. Sometimes even in daylight - thought that is rare. They are beautiful they've had plenty of good food. Don't get too fond of them though, they are killing machines - pets and small animals beware!
