Meet our new female Red Fox!

Look who arrived yesterday!












This young female Red Fox was born in the spring of this year. She was orphaned and raised at a rehab center in northwest Ohio. Weighing in at just under 9 pounds, she has not yet reached her adult size. She is out on exhibit in the Perkins Wildlife Center and is adjusting well to her new home. She is a little on the shy side but her playful nature has already made its appearance. The staff is thrilled to have her and has begun working on her socialization.

We named her "Scarlet."

Stay tuned for more updates!
