clachan 72 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ive been saying this for ages.We're dealing with a "new generation"of fox.I saw it years ago with squirrels.A squirrel associated a tree with safety,their home and a source of food.Their young were born in this environment so they carried on this cycle.But when squirrels moved into the urban areas all this changed.Trees were replaced with houses,so in turn their young associated all of the above with houses.The same i believe is happening with our foxes.Rabbits have been breeding throughout the winter for years now and rabbits are a source of food,Lambs are born earlier,and also nesting birds are earlier.So they have food for cubs that are born early.This "new generation"of fox is adapting to a new environment,new climate and new conditions in which they can thrive.Imo.clachan 6 Quote Link to post
