"Once the veterinary team determines that the fox is healthy, the zoo will work with wildlife experts to identify an appropriate long-term home for the animal. He seems to be settling in well. It's gone through a lot."
"The Port of Southampton handles everything from cars to containers to cruises, but even we were surprised to find a fox had booked itself a transatlantic crossing. Clearly it fancied swapping the Solent for the Staten Island Ferry."
"According to the Bronx Zoo, red foxes are among the most widespread carnivorous mammals in the world. Known for their reddish coat and white-tipped bushy tail, they are found across Europe, Asia, North America, and parts of Africa. The red fox's remarkable adaptability allows them to thrive in environments ranging from forests and grasslands to urban areas."
A two-year-old male red fox weighing approximately 11 pounds unexpectedly traveled thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean hidden in cargo aboard a ship departing from Southampton, England. US officials discovered the fox upon arrival at the Port of New York and New Jersey and transported it to the Bronx Zoo on February 19. The animal is currently under care at the zoo's Animal Health Center, where veterinary teams are conducting health assessments. Initial examinations indicate the fox appears healthy, with additional routine screening results pending. Once veterinary clearance is confirmed, the zoo will collaborate with wildlife experts to identify an appropriate permanent home for the animal. The fox is reportedly settling well into its temporary care.
