Here's why:
* Urbanization: Northeast Philadelphia is heavily urbanized with a lot of human activity and development. Foxes prefer areas with more natural cover and food sources.
* Lack of natural habitat: There aren't extensive forests or natural areas in northeast Philadelphia that would support a fox population.
* Wildlife sightings: There are no documented sightings or reports of foxes in that specific area.
If you do see what you think is a fox, it's more likely to be a stray dog or a coyote. Coyotes are known to adapt to urban environments.
If you're interested in seeing foxes, you might consider visiting more rural areas outside the city.
