It was 4ft long - the same length as an average seven-year-old child and about the size of a coyote, dingo or Iberian lynx.

"A fox, believed to be the biggest ever found in Britain, has been caught and killed after it apparently ate a family's pet cat"
That's a shame. Anyway, couldn't they have thought up any British animals as reference to it's size. I've never seen a Coyote, Dingo or even a Liberian Lynx.

That's a really useful comparison, Sky News, thank you. Because we can all picture an Iberian lynx, can't we? It was 4ft long - the same length as an average seven-year-old child and about the size of a coyote, dingo or Iberian lynx.

I hear the Liberian Lynx is even rarer than the Iberian one...Edited by FasterFreddy on Sunday 2nd January 17:17
People are actively feeding foxes - like their mutant obese offspring, it's no surprise the foxes are growing fatter too.
One of my neighbours leaves food out, on such a regular basis that foxes call now at regualr 'meal times'. Worse still, they're becoming very tame. I keep having to shoo the younger ones away when I'm out with the dogs; they don't see the dogs and assume you're bringing food. Big mistake.
Anyone who's ever seen an ordinary, red-blooded dog catch the scent of a fox knows it's impossible to prevent the chase.... Then there's the (admittedly small, but nonetheless serious) risk of an encounter between a 'tame' fox and a human child...
I've told the neighbour it will end badly.

Perhaps it had just eaten a 7 year old child?It was 4ft long - the same length as an average seven-year-old child and about the size of a coyote, dingo or Iberian lynx.

I would prefer to wear her like a horse wears a feed bag, as opposed to wearing her like a hat.(Is the above sentence written correctly? It doesn't read right to me.)

Painting pictures with words.
Odd animals. Around here (rural) they usually run off when they see you. However, when i was a student in a large city, there were lots of them in the nearby park, they would run up to you and sniff your feet. It was quite intimidating if there was a dozen or so of them. They certainly seem more fearless in urban areas.
