In Yellowknife, a fox's diet includes cappuccino to go Last Updated Fri, 20 Jan 2006 14:18:04 A growing fox population with a taste for urban treats is making its presence known in Yellowknife. A 15-year-old boy was playing in his front yard Wednesday night in freezing weather when a fox destroyed his soccer ball and made off with an iced cappuccino. * FROM AUG. 5, 2005: Wardens may have to bag purse-chewing foxes (http://www.antiwrap.com/?856 ) The animal did not lunge or act aggressively, but the boy's family, who've lived in Yellowknife for years, had never seen a fox so bold. Senior wildlife officer Raymond Bourget says foxes have been breeding within city limits for years. He says people inadvertently encourage close encounters by feeding them or leaving food around. The local foxes "don't know the wild," he says. "They don't know the bush. All they know is city life. "They've learned from their parents how to go and get food from the garbage," adds Bourget. "They know where to go for handouts, and if they can't find any of that, then they start taking cats and other small pets." Bourget says the last reported fox bite in the territory was in Inuvik several years ago. He says people should not feed any wildlife.
