Cape fox spotted in Table View

Staff Reporter|Published

A Cape fox was spotted at various urban locations in Table View, close to the Table Bay Nature Reserve on Wednesday, September 21. According to a statement from the City of Cape Town, the fox was exploring the protected corridors of the Table Bay Nature Reserve the night before and found itself in unfamiliar territory during the day time, which might have caused the animal to take evasive action through the urban area. The animal was not seen since that Wednesday afternoon which appears to be a good sign, indicating it probably found its way back to safety in the nature reserve, said the statement. This is a very special sighting for the area as foxes are generally not spotted during the day as they are nocturnal species, and are rarely found in urban spaces
