"The North Atlantic in February is no gentle passage, and the conditions aboard a working cargo ship are far from hospitable for wildlife."
"Keith Lovett, the zoo's director of animal programs, stated, 'He seems to be settling in well.' Lovett added, 'It's gone through a lot.'"
A red fox boarded a cargo ship in Southampton, England, on February 4 and survived a 14-day journey across the North Atlantic, arriving in New York on February 18. The fox, weighing approximately 11 pounds and estimated to be two years old, was discovered among a shipment of automobiles by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. After being transferred to the Bronx Zoo, initial veterinary examinations indicated the fox is healthy and adjusting well to its new environment, receiving a diet suitable for its species.
