Frolicking deer, fox spotted enjoying this Staten Island beach
Briefly

A couple's walk on Midland Beach was pleasantly interrupted by the sightings of unusual wildlife including three deer and a red fox. Resident Matt Smith shared his observations, humorously noting the unusual nature of these sightings, especially the deer on the beach. He emphasizes the growing presence of foxes in the area, suggesting that residents should observe wildlife from a distance for safety. This light-hearted encounter reflects broader shifts in local wildlife interactions and the community's ability to coexist with nature.
"The deer are like Rocky and Apollo on the beach, so it's just kind of funny and it's something light-hearted... interesting, though, that they even found their way to the water."
"Foxes seem to be popping up everywhere... They are even foxes at the beach."
"With any wild animal, it's better to observe foxes and deer from afar to make sure you and the animals stay safe - we want to cohabitate, not commingle."
