do fox's carry rabbies? i watched something on tv about some chick getting rabbies, didnt know for a month, miricle shes not dead but all her motor and speach are out the window.

ive seen a fair few on the westal extention off princes hwy, they've all dissapeared now since they've started developing that big block of land.

See them fairly regularly at night. I like them, but they don't belong here.

[mcdee]

i see 1 every night at about the same time (11:30pm) going down my street.

1 night it just ran straight past me, thought it was a dog but when it went under the street light i saw that it was a fox!!

[hoy32]

I always see them near my place exploring the streets, they come out from Jells Park and just chill......they are quick though, never even got that close to one in my car.

I went to one of those wildlife parks once and you could feed the kangaroos and emus with some dry food mix that you could buy there. well once the food finished a kangaroo decide that the bag tastes good as well and took the paper bag off me and was standing there eating it. My cousin took some funny snaps of that kangaroo, but he lives overseas so don't have a pic to post

*EDIT* found one pic on his page the equivalent of facebook overseas

[adznight]

lol yes foxes are known to attack...i kno because ive been fox hunting before and they get nasty if cornered try to bite my cousin jumped at him, which is why im not sure why u would do that...but they are cunning lil bastards...always see em up where i live on the peninsula..lol in lalor, epping, thomastown.. i just see kangaroos everywhere...

Whoa, hang on a minute, you're telling me a fox got nasty when your cousin cornered it and tried to kill it!? Geez I wonder why.

Foxes are super timid, they are harmless.

I've seen foxes all over the place, saw one in Balaclava once on the cemetary wall!

[AGE]

Really? Who? How?

Well, this was when the Movie studio was being built, when i was working there.... One Fox was cornered one morning inside the biggest studio and it took off up the stairwell towards the top of the studio. (there is heaps of walkways for the AC and lighting system inside the studio up really high!). It leapt about 15m+ to it's death and the concrete floor.

After that the builder put some Fox trap out, and caught another one the following night.

Wow guess foxes aren't like cats then.. can't land on their feet properly.
