Handsome fox joins Londoner for rooftop sunbathing session

There's only one thing in this world more cheering than the sight of a happy fox, and that's a happy fox sunbathing on a roof terrace.

On Sunday, Tom Bell from London experienced exactly that -- a fox had arrived on his roof and decided to make itself comfortable in the sweet, sweet sunshine.

Finally, just in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation, Mashable reached out to the RSPCA to get the low down on foxes. They sent back the following statement:

"Normally, foxes are wary of people and would run away to avoid adults and children. It’s important that people do not try to hand-feed foxes or make them tame as they will learn to trust people and can become quite bold. This may lead to them approaching people who may not like them and take action against them.

It is possible for people and pets to get mange from foxes and dogs, but the risk from foxes is very low, as direct contact is the most likely source of infection. Another disease risk is from the roundworm (Toxocara canis) found in dog, cat and fox droppings, which can cause toxocariasis in children – but the risk of children picking up this parasite from fox droppings appears to be extremely low.
