hi everyone i took the family out herping on saturday with only 1 lace monitor to be found very sad. but happen to catch a fox that had been hit by a car. i know people dont really like foxs but oh well i seem to have a soft spot for things. i gave him a drink and put him in the shade to let him have a chance dont know how he got on . oh well heres a photo of him anyway.

I don't know if I would have been game enough to catch it considering its teeth, and how they are good at tearing up sheep, but still, a good deed mate.  |

Was a good thing you did even though they kill natives...............but so do cats and you can buy them at a pet store. Even if it dies you know you tried.

Harden up people this is a well known native animal killer and should never be saved. If you know this, then to do so is irresponsible, whether you feel good saving it or not. | | |
