""It's honestly impossible to put into words how much his progress has meant to our team.""
""Three months and 17 days. That's how long it took for this young fox to be given a second chance back in the wild. "When we first saw this boy, he was stuck to the road and covered in bitumen. It's taken countless washes and a very complex surgery to get him back on his feet, but his final leap to freedom makes every single second worth it.""
""Tar fox is finally free," they added."
""The end of an era... good luck little fox - keep out of trouble.""
A fox cub was pulled from a container of bitumen by workers on an industrial estate in north-east London in May after becoming stuck to road surfaces. Staff from South Essex Wildlife Hospital freed each leg, spending more than 30 minutes on some, and performed extensive surgery on one injured leg. Many bottles of baby oil and WD-40 and several days of cleaning removed tar-like fur contamination. The fox underwent countless washes and complex surgery over three months and 17 days of treatment. The cub made a full recovery and was released back into the wild. Staff described the recovery as amazing and thanked supporters.
