I always tended to think that the UK didn’t really have any large predatory animals roaming around, but the fox I saw running across the fence yesterday morning reminded me that we might just have one.
The foxes we get around our way tend to be larger than the urban ones I have seen around towns before, probably because there’s alot more open spaces and fields around, and the foxes have a greater variety of food rather than just rubbish scraps. I wonder if they have attacked anybody unprovoked before? This one I saw in our back garden yesterday was pretty big and I imagine it’s claws could do some real damage. They do have quite small mouths though don’t they – they might be the size of a small/medium dog but their mouths are mush smaller I think.
All I can say is, it’s a shame they don’t hunt in packs! It could be like having wolves roaming the moors or something – very cool unless you were cornered by them.
The main thing i’m enjoying while reading your blog is the way you write, you are a really charismatic person and your posts are wonderful, keep it up!
Thank you very much! I never knew anyone actually read my ramblings.
