'I have never seen anything quite like it before'

The fox frequently visits the garden of Faroz and his daughter Sophia, who initially thought it was a wolf.

What's with this "North American Red Fox" rubbish? Holarctic (or even wider) surely? Unless its been split, in which case I get a tick and no way is it "North American".

"...about 0.1% of the UK fox population"

430k (rough fox population) *0.1% = 430 = slow news day.

Nice animal though. One wonders what they would say had it been a real wolf. It's like my wife who, when tasked with mouse trap purchases, came back with rat traps.

Probably "Oh look, next door's German Shepherd is out again"!

Noting that Sophia at first thought it was a wolf, I found this report thoroughly depressing: Wisconsin hunters kill 216 wolves in less than 60 hours, sparking uproar. Knowing that not all those visiting BF are interested in birds, I won't comment further.

So did I. In fact too depressing to share... at least the authorities themselves were thoroughly enraged.

To the layperson, first impressions can be confusing. A girlfriend, who was staying at the Joshua Tree Inn c.40 years ago was politely told to stop feeding the " shy, thin Alsation " hanging about the complex. Yep, a Coyote.
