Pictures of animals, art incorporating animals, or anything fun.
Occasional articles are allowed, but they should be about animals / wildlife and ideally have photos.

Really interesting observations! I used to have a cat and I loved trying to figure out how he perceived things. I don't know much about foxes, and I'm not sure I've ever seen one. Per the Wiki page, urbanized foxes in Europe are a known thing - I never knew. I'm in Toronto, Canada. Around golf courses and parks/forests of similar size, there might be some coyotes that live in there, but I've seen maybe 1 in the city in my life and I've never heard of them sharing people's patio (furniture)
Yeah, population density makes a big difference. I grew up in Norway, and don't think I ever saw a fox in the wild in 25 years, but in London it's a regular occurrence. Especially in the suburbs, but I've once seen one dead centre of town too.
