CCTV cameras in Lincoln have captured a fox and an otter running around the city’s streets.<\/p>\n
The two animals were seen wandering around Brayford Pool and the High Street areas in the early hours.<\/p>\n
City of Lincoln Council said the footage resembled a Christmas advert and showed “an unlikely friendship blossoming”.<\/p>\n
It is not clear from the footage where the animals had come from or what they were doing.<\/p>\n
Steve Nichol, the chief executive of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, in Boston, described the scenes as “strange” and said they had to be seen to be believed.<\/p>\n
“It’s so odd and those animals would never been seen hunting in the same areas. If anything they’d be fighting each other rather than walking around the shops.<\/p>\n
“You might see the odd fox around a city centre but to find an otter in a populated area is highly unusual.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CCTV cameras in Lincoln have captured a fox and an otter running around the city’s streets.
