Foxes

So I just saw a fox walking through Charlton by the station and it has started a debate.
IMO Foxes are evolving to realize that we are not a threat to them, 10 years ago if a fox saw a person it would run in the other direction but thats changing.
I feel that foxes will evolve to the point they realize that we are more scared of them than they are of us, and again IMO in 10-20 years foxes could evolve to like lions and tigers.
My step mum however who feeds foxes yjat comd into here garden thinks they want to live with us and be domesticated like cats and dogs.
So where do u fall on foxes evolve to be akin to lions and tigers or be domesticated pets

Wait... the fox started a debate?9

I live in a rural village, can’t remember the last time I saw a fox. Now badgers, that’s a different matter entirely.0

How quickly do you think "evolution" takes place?5

Evolution doesn't happen over a decade0

And yet in the last 10-15 years they have evolved to not run as soon as they see a headlight or a human, who knows how far they will get in another 15-20 yearsjacob_CAFC said:Evolution doesn't happen over a decade0 -
They haven't evolved lmao, that's just learned behaviourpaulie8290 said:

Pigeons seem to have no fear of humans
Even wood pigeons seem to ignore humans, whereas other birds are far warier0 -
Yeah not seen one since leaving greater London for the sticks but seen plenty of badgers too.LargeAddick said:I live in a rural village, can’t remember the last time I saw a fox. Now badgers, that’s a different matter entirely.

Hopefully they learn to use a toilet in the future and stop pissing and shitting all over my AstroTurf.jacob_CAFC said:

I didnt go to college or uni, and i am as thick as shit and never claimed otherwise, does it really matter if i have used to wrong choice of word, it doesnt matter if its evolution or learned behaviour, the premise still remains that foxes are getting smarter and IMO will be akin to Lions and tigers and wolves at some stagejacob_CAFC said:

Paulie, foxes aren't evolving at anywhere near the rate you're worried about. Some of them have learned not to run away when they see humans. But they're not going to learn coding, how to build artificial intelligence robots or set up their own tv stations.
Compared to most humans, they're still very, very dim indeed.1 -
This reminds me of Karl Pilkington:
”If we hadn’t invented planes, maybe we’d be able to fly now.”

They're not going to grow to be 10x the size so they aren't going to be like urban lions. They are essentially wild dogs with gingeritis, outcasts in society.5

Mate if Paulie's right, they will have eaten you in 10 years, so I wouldn't stress about your astro turf.Jack Charlton said:

They’ll probably evolve into eagles.killerandflash said:Pigeons seem to have no fear of humans

probably in 10-20 years.
my Auntie Gert reckons they just want to be domesticated like parrots, so they’ll develop speech. Probably in about 6-7 years.10 -
Paulie, for once I think you're getting some overly harsh treatment here.
In answer to your question, I think they want to be domesticated.
My only grievance with foxes, as a former dog owner, is frequently having to drag my beloved, elegant beautiful red setter/collie cross away from a streaming pile of fox shit that she was either eating or rolling in. Fox shit is like dog heroin.
Also, their sex noises are a bit sinister.4 -
Was watching a documentry and the have very spikey penis apparently, so the sex noise is because it hurts girl foxes hahaMrLargo said:Paulie, for once I think you're getting some overly harsh treatment here.

This thread could end up being legendary.1 -
Does that mean they’ll evolve into Dragons in 10-15 years?killerandflash said:Pigeons seem to have no fear of humans

Definitely on #teampaulie in this thread. I want a pet fox that hunts antelope0

Something weird is already happening.........38 -
We need to change their diet so their shit improves its aroma0

Is there some kind of fox v lion beef at the moment then? I can't imagine how often they meet for this animosity to have built up though.paulie8290 said:and again IMO in 10-20 years foxes could evolve to like lions and tigers.

We get loads in our garden so I think we’re going to have to consider putting our house up for sale if they’re going to evolve into lions or tigers.
i can’t have a situation whereby I’m cutting the grass or pruning the bushes in fear of being mauled by a fox.
Think I’ll go with Foxtons estate agents.
Thanks for the heads up @paulie82908 -

If you’re having trouble finding human partners, I sympathise but all you’re doing is speeding up the domestication process.MrLargo said:Paulie, for once I think you're getting some overly harsh treatment here.
