Crazy as it sounds I have still never seen a live fox in the wild. :(

Ah I love foxes… when I was in London I saw a bunch of them, they’ve found a little niche for themselves in the city.

They seem to love cemeteries, I've seen them playing fox hide-and-seek (hiding behind headstones) in one by me

Which cemetery? Just saw my first fox in Philly today at the Schuylkill Center.

Wow, great pic! I've seen a number of foxes in the cemeteries around Upper Darby, but I haven't been able to get a shot. I guess they hang out there for the same reason I do -- not much other green space :/

Wow. I see them trying to run across the Boulevard at least monthly

I know, right? And I don't live inside the city, so there are plenty of woods and open fields where you would think I'd have seen one before now!
(And, for the record, I'm not a young'un LOL...)
PS. Sad about the "trying" part... I'm sure I know how that usually ends... :(

Believe it or not, I'd say they make it 3/4 of the time. They seem to know when to run.

I just saw one today in Haddington Woods. I’ve lived almost my whole life around here and this was my first!

They're around in the Wissahickon and Belmont Plateau. They're harder to find then deer since they're pretty shy and skittish - except when they have kits (baby foxes) then the Mom fox will be somewhat aggressive (but not in a dangerous way).
I once saw one on Kelly Drive near the tunnel. At first I thought it was a corgi - but then saw the long tail and thin legs. It was smart. It ran along the walkway to around the General Grant statue and then looked both ways and crossed Kelly Drive.
But they are quite beautiful. So to call someone a "fox" is a super-super compiment.
