Tiny Fox Cub Recovers After Unlucky Break
A young red fox was found injured and alone outside a shop in the middle of the busy town center of Leatherhead, Surrey. The abandoned cub weighing just 700g was clearly struggling before a kind passer-by spotted him and contacted a nearby wildlife aid center. The cub had apparently been separated from his mother and had a broken leg. After being contacted, the Wildlife Aid Foundation took the cub into their care. At the center the baby fox’s leg was bandaged as he waited for an orthopedic surgeon to operate on his injured limb. Unfazed by the green bandage on his front right leg, the fox cub quickly used it as a pillow to rest his weary head on.
Founder of Wildlife Aid, Simon Cowell, said: "The young cub was found with a broken leg outside the front of a shop door. It is likely the cub’s mother may have dropped him while carrying him around in her mouth. Although, it is also possible his mother may have been hit by a car and killed, leaving the cub abandoned.”
He also added: “It is very rare for an animal of that age to suffer a broken leg because their young bones are still quite soft."
While this young fox was obviously not a threat to humans, but rather the other way around, it is not a good idea to get too close to wild animals, especially ones who wander into an urban environment looking for food or shelter. They will feel more at risk if humans try to get close to them and even cornered. Any wild animal will be more likely to attack out of fear or confusion than surrender.
