This urban fox was seen in Ealing Dean, west London, prowling along a garden fenceIf there's a mouse or bird on the lawn, they have no idea what's about to hit them.
This urban fox was seen prowling along a garden fence in Ealing Dean, west London - with a look on his face that said 'You're breakfast'.
Creeping along in broad daylight, he made light work of the wooden posts yesterday - balancing like a parkour pro.
Foxes are well adapted to urban life - in London alone, they number more than 10,000. Councils don't consider such wild animals to be pests as they do not pose a direct threat to public health.
The cunning fox seemed to have his eyes fixed on something tastyJust like the rural type, urban foxes are omnivores with a strong sense of their territory.
In towns and cities, around a third of their diet comprises food they have scavenged from our rubbish, with the balance made up of rats, mice, pigeons and other small animals they have hunted, as well as worms and insects.

In certain seasons, they also eat fruit and berries.
But domestic pets can also be targeted, particularly as the large new wheelie bins make it more difficult for foxes to scavenge in our garbage. Cats, birds, rabbits and even small dogs are all at risk.
