Foxes are adaptable, which is why you see so many. They can eat nearly anything, they learn quite quickly, they are survivors. 

This doesn't mean they will become lions though. For example quite a few monkey types know to target humans for food, hang around markets & picnic sites, even raid homes & this has been happening for decades. They know they can try their luck. It doesn't mean that India, Thailand & Brazil have burgeoning gorilla populations. 

How adaptable an animal is just reflects how successful and widespread a species is. 

is that how you learned to use a computer?

I'm not sure what PCs have to do with an animal that's adaptable enough to also live in Alaska, Australia and China? With no figer or lox reportings, I should add.

We don’t have them down south or any other variant of the fox but in tropical regions of the world there is a flying fox. Almost bat like.

I know what Paul is almost saying and I have to agree, they have changed their behaviour a lot in my lifetime.

Who'd wanna be a lion or a tiger?  Foxes have more fun!

My son recently bought a house where the previous owner fed the foxes.  Given half a chance I think they'd come inside and pull up a chair.



... they are currently retraining to raid dustbins and finding alternative feeding arrangements.

We feed the foxes that come into our garden and they’re bold as brass now. 

Paulie - a Fox that’s out in the day, particularly one that doesn’t avoid human interaction, is probably unwell - mange most likely.

As for “evolving to be like lions and tigers in 10 or 20 years”, that’s probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve read on this site, which is pretty impressive. 

Mmmm not sure about that. 
When we lived in Greenhithe we had the most healthy looking fox who would just hang out in our back garden. Usually on the fence. Our neighbour was feeding it. 
Not even the other neighbours rotty barking at it would disturb it. 
Cheeky fecker. 

Now here in West Cork they behave like they should. 
Eating everyone’s chickens & bolting as soon as you see them.

Hang on. In the past few years on this website I've seen people suggesting that Roland was doing a good job and that Katrien was a competent CEO. I've read that we were right to sack Chris Powell, and I'm pretty sure there was at least one person who thought that Karel Fraeye might be alright as head coach.

Foxes evolving into lions and tigers doesn't even make the top 10 ridiculous comments. 

Foxes evolving into lions and tigers and then opening a successful chain of vegan restaurants across South London and Kent wouldn't even make the top ten.

It really, really does, absolute madness 

Domestic dogs and wolves are part of a large taxonomic family called Canidae, which also includes coyotes, foxes and jackals, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). Members of this family are called canids. Domestic dogs are a subspecies called Canis lupus familiaris.
