I like foxes. thedailywhat: You Don’t Even Pay Rent of the Day: Construction workers at London’s Shard skyscraper — the UK’s tallest building — happened upon a fox that had apparently taken up residence on the 72nd floor of the 80-story building. Nicknamed Romeo by Shard staff, the sly creature had apparently entered the building through the central stairwell, and kept himself alive by subsisting on scraps left behind by workers. After being captured, Romeo was fed and given a check-up at the Riverside Animal Centre in Wallington. “We explained to him that if foxes were meant to be 72 storeys off the ground, they would have evolved wings,” said the centre’s founder Ted Burden. “We think he got the message and, as we released him back on to the streets of Bermondsey shortly after midnight on Sunday, he glanced at the Shard and then trotted off in the other direction.” [bbc / gizmodo.]
