Hoping to catch a glimpse of Mr. Fox...

19th October 2011

Mr. Fox

For the past few months, the animal team have been getting to know a red fox that came to us from the British Wildlife Centre that had arrived there after being found orphaned. We have been encouraging him to get used to us, and our resident interns have spent hours upon end sitting with him in his offshow enclosure. On Sunday, we moved Mr. Fox, as he is currently known, into a on-show large ex-cat enclosure that he will now have the run off. Knowing he would be quite elusive whilst he is getting used to his new enclosure, I was hoping to grab a photo for the famous blog of him being released into the enclosure, but sure enough it all happened too quickly! The challenge now is to try and grab a shot of Mr. Fox investigating his new enclosure, as we will be keeping an eye on his behaviour to see how he adjusts to the new environment. So fingers crossed for some positive fox updates soon!

Here is Zena's having a quick drink from her stream today. Hopefully she will be admiring her reflecting more vividly with the planned cataract removal scheduled to take place within the next few weeks.
