Figure 1.
Current distribution of urban foxes in Great Britain.
Current distribution of urban foxes in Britain based upon sightings reported in urban areas in response to a national television programme in 2012. Red dots indicate sightings; blue dots indicate sightings with supporting photographic evidence.
Figure 2.
Changes in fox presence since 1987.
Records of fox presence in the 65 cities predicted by Smith & Harris (1987) to have zero or low fox densities. Closed triangles indicate cities where foxes were sighted in 2012; open triangles indicate cities where no fox sightings were reported in 2012 survey.
Figure 3.
Density of fox sightings in Great Britain.
Density of fox sightings based on publicity submitted sightings in the 144 cities used within statistical models. The size of circles depicts the number of fox sightings per 10002.
