Urban Fox Attack in the UK

Articles keep popping up concerning a fox that ventured into a home in London and attacked a set of twin babies in their sleep. Everyone seems to be shocked this could ever happen, but as urban sprawl continues to displace native wildlife and destroy ecosystems, these type of events become inevitable.

Two nine-month-old baby girls are seriously ill in hospital after being attacked by a fox at their east London home.

The twins were sleeping upstairs at the house when the animal entered through an open back door.

Questions are now being asked about how many urban foxes are too many, and what danger do they actually pose?
