A sampling of Facebook posts:
- Alison Everson Malloy: There was one on 54th street and Asbury on Friday night — it was stalking a cat. We watched it go from West up to Central. A lady we met said there's a den up at 54th and beach.
- Michelle Flack: Mike was jogging very early in the a.m. last week or the week before and he was alone on the boards — then he spotted the fox — as he got closer, the fox stared at him and Mike turned around and went the other way.
- Marc Bon: Saw one cruising 34th st. And Roosevelt Blvd near the pkwy.
- Bill Griffith: They are all over Somers Point. Had one in my yard the other night. Quite healthy.
- Fran Hummer: I saw this fox when bicycling on the boardwalk a few weeks ago.
- Beth Videtto-Viola: There was a whole family of foxes over by the high-rise condos Memorial Day Weekend and somebody was feeding them.
- Darlina McCormick: Jim and Gabe saw one yesterday at 52nd St beach. I guess he was checking out the new sand.
