Just a Woman with a Live Fox on Her Shoulder Waiting for the Subway Train in Moscow

Quote:Here is something you don’t see every day – a woman casually waiting for the subway train in Moscow with a full-grown pet fox perched on her shoulder.
A video of the unnamed blonde woman and her unusual pet has been doing the rounds on Russian social media for a week. Its origin is currently unknown, but it went viral after it was uploaded on Instagram by Russian fitness trainer . Footage shows a young blonde woman holding the leash of an adult fox perched precariously on her shoulder, as they both wait for the train in a Moscow subway station. The animal doesn’t seem particularly concerned about either the other subway riders staring at it, or the train as it storms into the station, which suggests that this is not its first train ride. As the doors open, the woman steps inside while trying to keep her back straight as not to affect the fox’s balance.
Not new but I missed this one.

I eight to think how that guy's been suckered...
The Daily Telegraph reports that April Fools' jokes have been banned this year in the UK, owing to fears that they may cause panic-buying because of the imminence of Brexit. The government has been driven to invoke a statute of 1653 forbidding the publication of false reports:

Here's a sceptical commentary by Hayley Stevens, but surely it's scarcely needed:

One thing, at the end there is a voice, saying something like "Come on xxx". The xxx is a person's name I think but I can't quite make it out, it sounded like "Billo" or "Dillo" but it could be my ears. A very calm sort of voice, just sounds like ordinary people at home, nothing stressed or unusual. I read some of the comments but I don't recall any mention of who the two people, the speaker and the spoken to, were.
But I have nothing else to say, it doesn't merit the attention it already received.
