Your day's wildlife

The brave foxes in my garden took on and killed a snake last night.

In fact I think there was a bit of overkill as the snake not only had its head bitten off but the rest of its body was badly mauled and chewed, and has lots of holes in it.

maybe they did it because they were thirsty

Similar thing over this way, only it was a squirrel taking the garden hose to task, and leaving it with a few more 'sprinkler' holes

so yours has holes for irrigation?

They just love chewing things. Any shoes or gloves, or just anything that makes a good toy, left outside will get chewed. One time a few years ago I was in the garden and my strimmer was lying only 4 or 5 metres away and a very bold fox snuck up to it, eyes on me all the time, so it could have a quick chew at the strap.
