Man trains foxes to stand up to eat

Pensioner Richard Lavelle of Stenson Road, Derby, has managed to out-fox animal experts. He is the man who has found the secret to training the bushy-tailed creatures.

Up to seven wild foxes creep into the 80-year-old's garden every evening and wait patiently for him to open his back door.



Then, on his command, they stand bolt upright on their hind legs and deftly catch the morsels of turkey and ham that he throws them.

Wildlife experts say they have never heard of anyone training foxes in this way.
