A clumsy fox had to be rescued by an animal centre after being found hanging by his tail from a garden fence.
The male fox had tried to climb over the fence in Norbury but his tail became trapped in between the fence panels - leaving him suspended upside down.
It is thought he was hanging there for about three to four hours before a neighbour spotted him and alerted the Riverside Animal Centre in Beddington on Saturday, April 6.
The centre is now fighting to save the young fox’s tail, of which two-thirds is left, but if he does not stop biting it he will have to have it amputated.
Ted Burden the centre manager said: "Where he was suspended it has pulled all the nerves and as the feeling starts to come back he can’t rationalize it like we can - he just wants to bite it."
