A team of researchers led by wildlife ecologists analyzed over 1,100 fox sightings made by the public as part of the citizen science project StadtWildTiere. The joint team of researchers has now shown that foxes prefer specific city areas and environments. The study also revealed that reports of fox sightings correlated with the educational level of the population.
