Man kills the biggest fox in Britain
Hunted down after savaging a farmer’s lambs, this is the largest fox ever recorded in the UK.The beast weighed almost three stone and was nearly five feet long – more than double the average size of the species. It was shot and killed by farmer Alan Hepworth who, at just 5ft 7in himself.
Mr Hepworth later decided to weigh the fox after realising it would probably be the largest he had ever shot. And the 69-year-old found it weighed a staggering 38lb 1oz and was 4ft 9in from its nose to the tip of its tail. Experts say it is the biggest to have been recorded in the UK.
