TopWhy did foxes colonise British cities?
Foxes started to colonise urban areas in the 1930s when we started building low-density housing. This led to a rapid expansion of our cities; during the 1930s London increased in size four-fold. This change in housing policy saw the rise of semi-detached suburbia, where the spacious gardens provided an ideal habitat for foxes. Even today, foxes are most common in suburbs built in the inter-war years.
