This is only a small glimpse at the superb map created by Zoe Webber for the Fox Deaths Project. Each colour denotes a cause of death of each of the foxes that have been submitted for post mortems.
There are a good few surprises and these include (black humour) the "Zombie fox". Hopefully a complete copy of the map will be presented in the over view planned for release this summer.
The Project may just be based in Bristol but the ramifications and what it has told us about foxes will be far reaching for UK foxes in general and, we hope, alert vets and rescues on what to look out for.

An eye opener for fox lovers also as all of those who thought poisons were the only thing killing foxes. Also a surprise for those who stated from the outset "They are all car kills".
