Healthy normal urbanized red fox in IP.. Please don't freak out!

Please don't freak!! There is an urbanized red fox in Island Park.. She is behaving normally.. Day light sightings are NOT a sign of rabies!

The mom is just trying to provide for her kits. Please don't trap, or do anything else to " solve the problem"... There isn't one..and anything done to her will leave babies orphaned and starving... Possibly creating a worse concern . Just be careful and aware of your small pets locations.. They normally eat mice , snakes, rats, and fruit.. But will take small pets like chickens ..This is a chance to educate kids about them, as wildlife lives along side us..?. But also to not approach a wild animal no matter how cute it looks.
