The fox is currently in the Animal Health Center at the Bronx Zoo, where it is under the care of the zoo's animal and veterinary teams. Initial examinations indicate that the fox appears to be in good condition. Veterinarians are awaiting results from additional routine health screening.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Field Operations Office posted this week that a live fox managed to sneak onboard a ship in Southampton, England - one that was bound for the New York metropolitan area. For context, a direct sailing between Southampton and New York takes about eight days.
