FOXCAM Secret Life of the urban fox These images for a Channel 4 documentary show urban fox cubs captured on infra-red cameras more normally used for wildlife documentaries in the countryside. The show has also fitted five animals with cameras on collars that have GPS trackers to record their activities in British cities. Basil, Diesel, Dora, Loxy and Chico will be the stars of Foxes Live: Wild in the City, which starts on Monday, and reflects the rise of urban foxes. Mark Evans, its co-presenter, said: "We know surprisingly little about an animal that is so familiar. We have probably not given foxes as much attention as we have lions in Africa. Britain's fox population has been estimated at 250,000, including up to 40,000 urban foxes. The move to fortnightly bin collections has been widely blamed for swelling their numbers. The programme will also carry out an internet survey of people's experience of foxes. Preliminary findings show that one in four respondents - 23 per cent - has been disturbed by fox noise in the past year, while 13 per cent say their bins have been raided, and seven per cent say a fox killed their chickens, rabbits or guinea pigs.
