Birmingham dashcam catches moment fantastic fox drags snake across city street

This is the moment an urban fox trots across a Birmingham road with a little something for breakfast. The sly creature was caught on dashcam with one end of a large snake firmly in its jaws and the rest trailing on Pretoria Road in Bordesley Green.

The fox caught the attention of motorist Sikander Faz who was on his way to work and stopped down to get a better look. The furry creature didn't appear dazzled by the car and even seemed to pause to show off its delicious prey.

The young looking fox then snuck off before sunrise to enjoy breakfast. Or bury it to enjoy later.

Sikander Faz caught the remarkable footage as he drove to work at 5.30am on Saturday (Nov 9). He said: "I came across a fox in the middle of the road dragging a very large snake.

"It was very unusual, never seen it before. I thought I was seeing things as I didn't have my morning coffee lol.

"It was very calm, not afraid. It didn't want to move out of the way and casually dragged the snake to the side.

"It was as if to say 'look what I've got for breakfast. It's very strange to see a snake in the city especially of that size. I don't know if it belonged to somebody and escaped."

According to the Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust, foxes are mostly likely at dawn or dusk when they are most active. The website said: "They spend their days in a sheltered, secluded spot either above or below ground.

"They have very varied diet, Urban foxes eat earthworms, insects, fruit and vegetables and a wide variety of both domestic wild birds and mammals"
