We found this Roe deer carcase at Woodchester park on the 2/2/2013. It had bite marks around its neck and a predator had started to eat it from behind. It was very fresh and still warm. It looked in good shape (besides from being dead). All the internal organs were missing.
There have been several reports of a big cat in the area
So we set a camera trap to see if the culprit would return
That is definitely not a big cat! But it is a pretty big fox!
The question is did this fox kill the deer? I can’t find any reports that foxes
would hunt and kill full grown roe deer but has this one learnt how?
