I am starting to think that foxes are more common in urban areas than we thought… Today’s urban observation is another fox! We have had a few previous observations of foxes, one with a magpie, then one in a garden feeding its babies. There is research being done on red foxes in Berlin, featured here too!
I saw a fox! It was right by my apt in the middle of town (granted it was 7am) pic.twitter.com/tK9elFVXzD

Do you have a photo or video of an urban species doing something unusual? What about a rare plant or animal that you were surprised to find in a city? If so, let Lindsay know or Tweet at us and you could be featured as a future observation of the week!
I'm a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University in the Integrative Life Science Doctoral Program. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Marc Johnson's EvoEco Lab at the University of Toronto Mississauga.
I am interested in urban ecology and evolution. Urbanization can have drastic impacts on local ecosystems, both negative and positive, and creates a new environment for organisms to experience. To understand the impacts that urbanization plays on organisms, I look through the lense of population genetics and molecular evolution.
