These foxes really jump around. Jump up, jump up and get down.
And Rachael Prior caught all that jumping on video.
Her city council spent a small fortune on covers to hide the water works infrastructure, which has now delightfully become a playground for a family of foxes.
And the rest of the world is indeed thankful.
Hello. The council spent £200k on these covers for the water works beyond our back garden & the local foxes think it was worth every penny. 🦊🦊🦊 pic.twitter.com/13TIzBpznt

That’s right.
This is the result of a public works project by Thames Water after people groused.
OK ok. We have @ThamesWater to thank for this fox playground after complaints from @EalingCouncil. Credit where credit is due. 🦊 💧👍🏼

People are left wondering how the foxes survive the urban jungle.
With little problem, apparently.
Yes! They eat mostly from our bins I think. Hopefully the odd rat or pigeon. 🤢

And quite ubiquitous.
Urban foxes are a very common sighting (in London at least). I’ve been just metres away from them on our street during the day. They are pretty chill and have grown accustomed to us humans, I think. https://t.co/P3QUAnTc4U

And Prior is having a moment the viral video sun.
I’m the fox lady now. Deal with it.
