Beautiful, thank you. I'm so happy to know that the octopus was helped back into the water. Have you seen, "My Octopus Teacher"?

One species of octopus immune to the toxin will pull a tentacle off of passing Portuguese man o wars, and use it as an underwater poisoned whip to fend off potential predators. |

Still no pictures of the elusive Scottish wildcat
The picture of the urban foxes makes me wish people in the U.K. would keep their pet cats indoors. I loves foxes but they are killers, they kill for the pure joy of killing - that is their way (a little like the human animal).
Thanks for poatinbg.

And they don't kill for the 'joy' of killing. What gave you that idea? Like all canids they avoid any unnecessary confrontations. The only mammal where some members seemingly kill for 'fun', other than some sicko humans, is dolphins. |

Will foxes kill my cat? It’s possible but very unlikely. A typical urban fox home range can be occupied by upwards of 100 cats, and most of these are out at night. Foxes and cats meet many times every night, and invariably ignore each other. When a fight does break out, it’s often the fox that comes off worse in the encounter. www.bbcwildlife.org.uk/urban-fox |

They all just go with 'I'm not bothering you, you're not bothering me. We cool' |

The only mammal where some members seemingly kill for 'fun', other than some sicko humans, is dolphins. When I lived in New Mexico, I was told by two different "farmers" that if a fox gets into a henhouse, they will kill all the chickens and not eat them and that they love to kill. Both people lost all their chickens to foxes. I'm glad that I have been misinformed because I truly loves foxes and I hate the fox hunting where the dogs are allowed to kill the fox. In the States, fox hunting is popular in places like Virginia and they claim that its just for the chase and the fox is not killed - but I'm not sure I believe them. Thanks for correcting me.

Both people lost all their chickens to foxes. Utter pish. If a fox gets in a henhouse, it will kill the hens, because it is an opportunity. It will then take one dead hen at a time, and bury it's stash, for a later date. That's what canids do. Chickens would normally roost on branches off the ground. If they are penned in to a henhouse and a fox gets in, it will kill then stash to eat later when times are hard. It is solely the hen keepers fault. Use decent biosecurity. Cheers, Father Jack, rescuer of ex battery hens that have the free run of my garden. Never lost one to a fox. When my hens die, I put them out for the foxes to take and eat. |
