A DAD was left terrified by a huge "wolf" in his back garden worrying that it was a "sign of misfortune". Feroz, 38, had been used to seeing parakeets and kestrels roam across his garden but was shocked when he spotted the "massive" canine-like animal. Speaking to MyLondon Feroz said: "It looked like a jet black wolf when I first saw it - I said bloody hell this is massive." The teacher explained how seeing different types of animals moving across his garden was common. "My garden is like a Disney film, we get kestrel, parakeets, seagulls, three-legged cats, one-eyed cats, there is a lot going on." It was only when the teacher saw the creature mate with an orange fox that he realised they were the same animal. "I saw him mating with a fox and thought dogs and foxes don't mate," Feroz said.

The fur family now have a black cub that likes to play in Feroz's Isleworth garden. … [Read more...] about Dad left terrified by huge ‘wolf’ in his back garden – before realising things weren’t as they seemed

The Boomtown Rats They're certainly more visible than in pre-pandemic times, but nothing to panic about — yet In London and other major cities across the UK, rat sightings have soared during the pandemic. The British Pest Control Association (BPCA), which represents 700 vermin catchers across the country, said its members reported a 51% hike in rodent activity during the first lockdown last spring, and a 78% increase in November after the next lockdown. Typically, rats avoid humans and make drains and sewers their homes. However, as … [Read more...] about UK COVID-19 lockdown provides boom towns for rats
