It might not be well. Whenever I see a fox sleeping in my garden, any hint that I might be watching it or going outside and it flees.

That did cross my mind, or maybe it had been injured by a car or something.

It was still there at 7pm when I went out for the eve but when I got back around midnight it had vacated the premises & gone about it's foxy night-time business.

A sleepy badger was caught napping in a cat bed in a house in Linlithgow.

The badger entered the kitchen through a cat flap and filled up on cat food before going to sleep in the soft bed.

The Scottish SPCA was called to the house at Beecraigs Country Park on Wednesday and an officer was able to persuade the badger to leave of its own accord.

The charity said it was unusual behaviour for badgers, which are usually shy animals, to enter a home.

This could also fit in "Strange sex" and "Fortean art". Maybe it's a hoax:

A Slovenian artist breastfed her dogs and fertilized one of her eggs with a dog cell as part of an award-winning three-month art project. She also produced a video documenting the creative process behind the bizarre venture.
Maja Smrekar lived in seclusion with her dogs as part of the lengthy artistic experiment, which was titled “K-9_topology.”
 
Merde! Well at least the dog didn't go that far.

Video has emerged of French President Emmanuel Macron's dog Nemo urinating on a fireplace at the Elysée palace.

The footage shows the black Labrador-Griffon cross relieving himself in the background as Mr Macron talks with three junior members of his government.

"I wondered what that noise was," says the junior minister for ecology, Brune Poirson, who had previously been talking, as they all laugh.

Mr Macron then says that Nemo has done something "quite exceptional".

The incident was captured by French TV station TF1, which was recording the discussion.

Junior minister for planning Julien Denormandie asks if this is something that "happens often".

"You've triggered a completely unusual behaviour in my dog," Mr Macron responds. ...

I think this is an amazing video, showing an odd interaction between three different species. Boo to the guy who wants to throw the seal back in though.

Zoo is the new knackers yard.

Horse owners in Denmark face a six-month wait if they want to feed their recently deceased equines to the lions.

It's become so popular to donate the carcass of your dead horse to Copenhagen Zoo as food for its carnivores that there's now a waiting list, Denmark's TV2 reports.

Given the choice between having your deceased animal collected and recycled by a private company for a fee of up to 3,700 krone ($584; £443), more owners are looking into the "cheaper and more natural" option of zoo donation, the TV says.

The zoo alternative is free, the Copenhagen Post notes, and owners find their service more comforting than the thought of their beloved animal becoming biodiesel and meatballs.

"When the horse is eaten by lions, it is part of the food chain," horse owner Karina Fisker says. She said it was important to her that her horse Vorning Hestepension didn't suffer any distress.

He should leave that sort of curiosity to cats.

A dog had to be rescued after getting its head firmly stuck in a wall.

Billy the terrier got in a hole lot of trouble when he decided to peer through a wall in Trumpington near Cambridge.

But his head was bigger than he thought and it became stuck in a hole in the trellis-type brickwork.

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service had to be called to the house to rescue the curious dog. He was safely reunited with his owner.

On the way to school this morning, my OH and teen son came across two young white-tailed deer stuck between the bars of a wrought iron fence. The deer were firmly wedged, but luckily we had a couple of bottles of shampoo and conditioner in the car. OH and son poured conditioner on the fence and deer and were able to get them unstuck.

So somewhere out there are a couple of lucky deer, looking lustrous and smelling of tropical fruit.:D
 
They should put that in their TV ads. The shampoo company, not the deer.

Lovecraftian Evolution?

Dozens of octopuses have been spotted crawling out of the water and making their way up a beach in Wales.

Around 20 of the sea creatures were seen on dry land in New Quay, Ceredigon, on Friday night, and more had been seen the night before.

Brett Stones, who runs SeaMor Dolphin Watching Boat Trips, caught one live curled octopus on camera and photographed several others which had died.

“They were coming out of the water ...

Upon reaching the hospital after some examining, the doctors were shocked to see a spider crawling out of the woman’s ear! Startled to see a live, eight-legged animal crawl out from the patient’s ear and filmed the entire procedure, the video, in turn, has now gone viral.

Australia's multimillion dollar broadband network is under attack - from cockatoos.

The National Broadband Network (NBN) company said it has spent tens of thousands of dollars so far fixing cables chewed by the birds.

Australian broadband is already criticised for being slow. According to a recent report it ranks 50th in the world for internet speed.

NBN estimates the bill will rise sharply as more damage is uncovered.

In an attempt to improve Australia's internet speed - currently lagging behind many developed countries at 11.1 megabits per second - a national telecommunications infrastructure project has been instigated and is due for completion in 2021.
