Today, we are celebrating one of our most iconic British species, the Red Fox🦊!
One of the UK’s last remaining apex predators, the red fox remains one of England’s most loved - but, also, somewhat controversial - mammal species. Their presence in our towns and cities has made the fox a part of our daily life, and, today, you’d be hard-pushed to come across someone that hasn’t had an encounter with a fox, in one way or another.
But it's not an easy life, being a fox; over development to their habitats, reductions in food sources and shooting pressures have all played a part in their population declining by 48% since 1995.
Here at WAF, one of the most common reasons for fox admissions is road accidents. It is estimated that 100,000 foxes are killed on UK roads, every year, that’s 273 per day, or 11 per hour😥.
This is not sustainable for wild populations, and we must do more to protect wild foxes🦊.
