Surprise visitor at the city park.

[JD Mandrell]

My great-niece had her final little league game tonight, and this little red fox decided to visit the parking lot beside the ball field at the city park.

He actually let me get about 10 feet from him.

Grate picture. Does eyes are looking right at you. It is definitely very aware of its surroundings.

Smart little critters. Had a fox in the yard a few nights ago here.

There was a news story, here in central KY, last night about 5 foxes that live in a neighborhood. They walk around like someone's pet, very comfotable, maybe too comfortable. Some child may try to play or pet one.

We are taking away their habitat, they don't have as much wild space to live in anymore.

That's pretty neat. I haven't seen a fox in a long while.

What was wild, was that it was only about 40 feet from a lighted ballfield with probably 200 people and all the noise associated with the game and the crowd.

They're adapting, that's all. We have loads of foxes here in Berlin. They are masters of adaption, just like crows or doves. Every few months, a construction site is put under total lockdown because a fox family decided to live there. They get very tame and are very curious, a lot of people are still afraid of rabies.
