A fox in the historical Gallipoli Peninsula, where the Dardanelles Wars took place, became a social media sensation in Turkey as it has hundreds of its photos shared online.

The fox was first seen in the peninsula in 2017 and has been friendly towards people since they began feeding it.

The last picture, created by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965), was auctioned for USD 473,600, reports bgnes.

President Aleksandar Vucic has signed a decree to recall Serbia's Ambassador to the United Kingdom Ognjen Pribicevic.
