Fox behaviour

    Hi, quick question:

    Yesterday I saw a fox on a main road between two midland towns. It looked to me like a young fox but it wasn't that small so perhaps it was fully grown. Anytime I've seen a fox before it was always on the move like as though it was keen not to be seen and it was always dusk or night time. This time though, it was probably around 7-8pm but it was still very bright. And the fox was just stood on the edge of a busy road chewing on something. It didn't move off the road when our car and others drove past. And if there was something on the road that it was eating I didn't see it. Is this normal fox behaviour, or what might the explanation be?

    Thanks

    Probably a cub. Most of the foxes killed on the roads now are cubs, hasn't built up enough experience yet to have the sense to get out of the way.
