Long slender body and long thick tapering tail. Milk chocolate brown fur (darker when wet) with a slightly pale underside. In 2012, an albino fox shocked farmer Roger Holmes who spotted the creature lapping up the sun in Bethersden, Kent. Attempts have been made to reintroduce otters to their former haunts by reintroducing captive bred and rehabilitated animals, with some attempts proving very successful. While albino foxes are rare in Britain, they are not totally unheard of. However, otter populations in England are very fragmented and the animals breed slowly. Their size accounts for some of their misfortune, being on the smaller side of most carnivorous mammals and plays a part in what eats a fox. There is evidence that in certain parts of the UK the otter is extending its range and may be increasing locally. The fox has many natural enemies so predators may count on the fox as a source of food or may just kill them out of territorial and animal instinct. Named 'Pretty Babe' by Helen Brownson, the fox is about four feet long, weighs about 12 pounds, and eats raw meat and table scraps. While otters completely disappeared from the rivers of most of central and southern England in just 50 years, their future now looks much brighter. 1 near Howard in northwest Centre County is still being held in captivity by the Walter Brownson family, RD1 Howard.
