FRIEND. FOE. FOX.
BBC Wildlife
|May 2022
They live among us in the city and countryside - yet foxes are too often misunderstood and persecuted. Intimate photos cast new light on our divisive but beautiful neighbour.

Bright eyes
From a hide in Derbyshire, photographer Andy Parkinson met the gaze of this magnificent subadult fox - a wild creature necessarily wary of humans but still curious. “I watched this young male grow from infancy, one of seven cubs," says Andy, "and this was the last time I saw him. I had waited a lifetime to look through my lens and witness such beauty."
In focus
A blind, deaf and helpless cub born in late winter has, just months later, become this subadult with sharp senses. "The wariness of young foxes often affords moments of exquisite eye contact," says Andy. "On more occasions than I can count I have watched foxes watching people."

Why does Australia have such weird animals?
AUSTRALIA IS A LONG WAY FROM anywhere and has been for a very long time. The landmass definitively separated from the supercontinent of Gondwana around 40 million years ago and, since then, has existed - as a big blob in the middle of an even bigger ocean - in glorious geographical isolation.

Why do some species sunbathe?
RING-TAILED LEMURS ARE FAMED FOR their 'sun-worshipping' posture, legs and arms outstretched to reveal their pale bellies. Like humans, they do it to save energy and boost health. Sunlight is necessary to many bodily processes. As a source of vitamin D it's required to maintain bone and muscle health. It is also related to the production of serotonin, the chemical that regulates mood, sleep and stress response.
