Fox in the henhouse, except there are no hens

So it’s our first night at the airbnb. I am in a blissful deep sleep when I am startled awake by some snarling sounds. There is some kind of wild animal outside! It goes on for about a minute. 

Naturally I yell to my son: What’s that?!! He thinks it’s some drunk guy outside! I tell him no human makes that that sound. It’s some kind of animal. So it stops and we are so tired we go back to sleep. We are so tired that as long as it went away, who cares? After all, it ain’t comin’ in here.

Earlier that evening we had had an interesting experience. There was a fox in the front yard. What???!!! A fox wandering around in a city neighborhood? 

Well it turns out London has a population of 10,000 foxes! So not an uncommon sight. We heard it a couple nights after that (though not sounding nearly as mad as first night- har), but haven’t heard it sense. I kind of miss it.
