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.

)has a slightly curled spine thus making it appear even smaller (Or further away "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.
