The trash panda of Europe is also an urban critter in North America. Billy talks about fox range expansion in in North America and urban fox evolution in England with Kate Garchinsky, illustrator of the Secret Life of the Red Fox and Christian Hunold, wildlife photographer and political scientist whose work looks at how humans and the animals we live with regard each other.

We read from Audubon and Bachman’s Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (p. 269-270) and look at two papers, one using genetic analysis to settle the question of where newer fox populations came from, and the other looking at how foxes in English cities are starting to look a little more domestic.
