Dead Fox (updated)

Oh dear
Yesterday a baby fox was sitting on our shed, we watched it for a while and then he ran into next doors garden.
He is a typical London fox in that he is skinny and dirty, and doesn't have much change in his pocket for sweets.



Marc found a small dead fox this morning just round the corner, i suspect it is the same fox seeing as it's just round the corner from our house.
I nipped around and took a few photographs of it, it really did look a sorry state, i'll post one up here later, come back if your not too squeamish and perhaps we will be able to tell if it was the same fox or not.

Here is the aforementioned dead fox.
Poor old thing.
I'm not sure if it is the same fox, the fox above (that was sitting on my shed) has very very big ears.
It's hard to tell colourwise though, cos i shot the pic above through our kitchen window, whereas below i was about a metre away.

Given the emaciated state of the live fox, I'd say they're the same animal. The live fox looks on the brink of starvation - it might only have been a baby, but clearly no one taught it how to feed for itself and by this point, it probably had some lovely germs swilling around in its system as well.

All you could have done was phone the RSPCA to pick it up, but even then, they probably wouldn't have been able to do anythin.
