The sighting, however, is nothing new, according to the state Department of Energy & Environmental Protection.

"They frequently inhabit yards, parks, and golf courses, especially areas that adjoin suitable, undeveloped habitat. Healthy foxes pose virtually no danger to humans. Foxes can grow accustomed to human activity but are seldom aggressive toward people."

Lawns are considered more attractive to foxes than the woods, DEEP adds, but people should not feel a need to try to scare them off, because they typically do not pose a threat to humans.
