Foxes were small mammals abundant in the United Kingdom and other places on Earth.

They were the objectives of hunts held in Britain that were both sport and aristocratic tradition. During the Third Doctor's exile on Earth, the Bristol police were once forced to keep the peace between fox hunters and those who opposed the practise. Because of the high tensions between the groups, the police had a difficult time of it. (PROSE: Rags)

When foxes died in public places, it was usually the local police's job to remove the body. One British constabulary was clued into an alien invasion ultimately countered by the Third Doctor and UNIT because of a dead fox discovered on public ground. (PROSE: The Mind Extractors)

Much later in the Doctor's life, the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex found stuffed foxes in Joe Hartley's taxidermy studio in 2006. (AUDIO: Night Thoughts)
