Thankyou

Thanks Sugarwinx, and welcome to my blog

It's probably more true to say that in the Fox Territorial System our garden falls within their land I also see them in nearby streets and meadows. Occasionally we also get intruding foxes from other groups, and the territory owners try to drive them away

You can find bios of some of the foxes here though I must update this, a lot has changed since I last added to that page.

Ah, mange. The million dollar question. It's a disease caused by mites but no one knows why some foxes get it and others don't. It may not even be native to the UK. It was deliberately introduced to North America by government officials trying to wipe out wolves for ranching interests

But it's quite easy to cure, if you know when the infected fox comes to give him / her the medicine.

A peace offering? I like that The Old Dogfox is king of the garden but he obviously has a fun side too! They're all quite playful really. There's a video of five of the gang playing in April 2005 here.

No, they're quite benign

Foxes become bold when they realise that they can easily outrun people. Sometimes the Old Dogfox comes right up to the house. But a lot of the time I see foxes in woods and meadows and they're more nervous then.

I can well believe that KL is a bit of an urban jungle (though, I've never got further east than India) but the wild parts of Malaysia have tigers which certainly aren't found here! (We do have a a black bear ) The only surviving wild cat in the UK is the forest wildcat, and they're extinct south of the Scottish mountains now.

And I have sittingfox as my username because foxes never stand when they can sit Conserving their strength or just laziness, not sure!
