Red foxes are becoming increasingly common in European urban environments, with population densities in some cities now rivaling those found in rural areas.

This video was captured through a gap in a fence at a reasonable distance to ensure no disturbance to their natural behavior. The vixen appears significantly exhausted, likely due to the high energy demands of providing for (probably) 8 kits.

At this stage, the kits are still primarily nursing, though they will soon begin transitioning to solid food. Managing a litter of eight during the weaning period presents a major physiological challenge for the mother, even with the relative abundance of anthropogenic food sources available in the urban landscape.
