Inquisitive fox made impromptu visit to Fire Control Centre

A fox was caught creeping around Narrabri Fire Control Centre in rural New South Wales, Australia, on the look out for some snacks.



He made an appearance when staff were overseeing a fire burning in the Pilliga East State Forest on Monday night.



The fox made a beeline for the Operations Room rubbish bin before searching the room high and low, hopping up on desks and chairs.



Inspector David Stimson said: "The fox appeared very friendly and could be approached and was happy to pose for several photos before disappearing into the night."

That's just neat. I've heard that Britain doesn't have a rabies problem; does anyone know the situation in Australia?

Rabies is present in Australia, although it appears to be mainly restricted to bats.

That said, obviously bats can bite other animals.
