Rescue

Erm…. excuse me, sir, you seem to have an invalid license, no insurance, and a lack of opposable thumbs.

On a serious note, this adult male was seen clipped by a car, but then scooped up and brought to us. Whilst very brave, we, for obvious reasons, wouldn’t advise placing an un-secured wild animal into a car, because despite the fox being collapsed for the journey to us, once they had arrived at the centre, the fox had come-to, and decided he would take a tour of his chariot.

Rehabilitation

Thankfully, with our rescuers on site, he was able to be secured and transferred over to our treatment room, where he had gotten away pretty unscathed, bar a wound to his chin.

Kept in for some r&r to ensure the stunning male had no residual effects from his collision. During his stay he could be frequently seen up on his outside shelf, watching all the goings-on.

Release

After just five days in care, this handsome guy was able to be returned to his home turf.
