London foxen
So yesterday I was waiting to cross a street in the middle of the day and I glanced at the person standing next to me and they were a fox.
We crossed the road and I fumbled for my phone and started following them ...
This was at walking pace; they didn't seem especially perturbed by me or any of the other people on the street.
I thought I'd lost them at one point, turned down a side-street to head back towards my original destination, and found they'd chosen the same side-street.
They inspected the front entryways of various houses, possibly looking for full rubbish-bins:
I caught up with them at the gate to a communal garden on an estate:
As you can see, they noticed me and I think didn't especially want me getting too close, but weren't too worried either, and certainly had an awareness that HUMAN CANNOT SQUEEZE THROUGH LOCKED GATE:
