Why Somerville’s foxes are thriving

Spotting more foxes in Somerville lately? It’s not your imagination—urban foxes are on the rise, and they’re making the most of city life. With easy access to food scraps, fewer predators, and plenty of hidden nooks under porches and sheds, these clever animals are thriving right in our neighborhoods. They’re even helping keep rabbit and rodent populations in check! While they’re mostly nocturnal and shy, you might catch a glimpse at dawn or dusk. Have you seen a fox in your area?
