Veterinary expert Mark Evans to host biggest nationwide study

CCTV cameras and GPS tags will be used to track the movement of foxes across cities in the UK. It’s estimated up to 40 000 foxes live in cities and yet we know precious little about them.

Urban foxes and pets often cross paths, leading to injuries or the spread of disease. Learning more about urban foxes and their lives could lead to better awareness for pet owners.

Foxes Live will air 30 April with an additional two shows to follow.
