The newest ambassador at Lindsay Wildlife Museum
We are happy to present the latest addition to the live collection at Lindsay Wildlife Museum, a handsome young gray fox. The fox, who has not yet been named, can be seen by the public beginning Wednesday, March 16 when the museum opens at noon. The gray fox was found as an abandoned pup in a barn in Humboldt county. He had been raised inappropriately by someone and then taken to a rehabilitation facility. He is too accustomed to humans and is unable to be released into the wild. The fox has been in his enclosure at the museum since February 9 with the viewing window covered to allow him time to become used to his new surroundings. The gray fox is one of four fox species native to California, is nocturnal in the wild and feeds primarily on meat but also enjoys fruit. The gray fox is the only member of the dog family that can easily climb trees! Come meet our new gray fox soon.
