Ocelot is home for sub-urban fox
9:31am Wednesday 28th November 2001
There have been several articles, over the years, about the urban fox, so I thought you may be interested in the picture of the sub urban fox I took recently in Chatham Dockyard.
Apparently he lives quite happily on HMS Ocelot, a Royal Navy submarine in the dry dock and presumably feeds on rats, mice, birds etc, of which there would probably be plenty and he appears regularly to pose for visitors and this raises the question of any other unusual habitats your readers may have come across.
