Yay, vulpie!
Foxes around Yellowknife, it seems, are getting comfortable with urban life- and have even started sipping on high-priced coffees.
...
15-year-old Jake Grayston was playing in his front yard Wednesday night when a fox approached and bit his soccer ball, right in front of him and some friends.
The animal did not lunge or act aggressively, but the teen's family, who have lived here for years, says they've never seen a fox act so boldly.
The animal wouldn't go away when chased, and Grayston says only stopped running when it spotted his iced cappuccino in the snow.
"I didn't know what to say," says Grayston. "It was on the ground there and he was licking at it. Kinda freaky."
