Foxes used to be mostly found in the country but they are now moving into populated areas. This is due to growing towns and villages and food waste left by humans. In the wild they will eat insects, earthworms, fruit, berries, wild birds, small mammals, but will also come onto farms to kill chickens and lambs. Foxes tend to be nervous of people, and are not generally aggressive unless cornered or provoked, however as they get bolder there have been an increasing number of attacks on family pets, young children and even adults. Foxes have no natural predator in the wild and, with the ban on fox hunting as a sport, their numbers are rapidly increasing.
