Not the kind who wear tight tops and mini skirts, but the bushy tailed variety.

On the way home last night within 75 yards of each other , I saw two beautiful foxes, on the cycle path. First for ages and at 6 pm!

Reminded me of a song (with apologies)

"they let out a bunch of urban foxes and, Jesus, people sought 'em"

I see some pretty foxy nightlife in Hastings. One walked alongside me for about 50yds just outside the supermarket.
Also see lots of badger in the town-centre park.

At my Aunt Helen's funeral, a fox walked out of the bushes and walked around the crowd, looking at everyone. They said it was a sign. Maybe it was.

Haven't seen any foxes from the bike, though, urban or otherwise.

In Branson MO I have seen fox, coyote, and deer around the shopping malls + raccoon, opposum and skunk around restaurant garbage cans. Even tho several residents have photographed cougars over the last several years, the Missouri Conservation Dept still swears that big cats are extinct in Missouri.

I see a lot of brush-turkeys around Burleigh Heads on my commute.

Oh yeah. There's one in my neighborhood who I meet up with on virtual all my night riding. We play chase... or rather I chase, he/she hides. Do they bite?

Probably only if you corner it, try to pick it up, or stick your hand into its home without ringing the doorbell first. :p

Hey, Cycletourist--that's what they always say. I believe Florida has finally admitted to having cougars again....after years of reports of them. Not sure, though, if it was Fla or some other state.
