Some Explanations
When the firefighters did some more digging, they realized how everything had come to be. Mother foxes often became pregnant during the colder months of the year, and would give birth just as winter was coming to an end. Of course, the time had been March when they found the animals, so it made sense that they had only just been born recently. However, foxes usually gave birth in hills and mountains, where there were lots of holes and dens to use.
Coming Together
A Strange Occurrence
It was odd that these little kits were found so far away from any hill or mountain. In fact, there weren’t many places that looked like dens in this area! Perhaps a sewer could look like a cozy, dark den, when really it’s just a concrete hole full of water and garbage! The team really couldn’t understand what the mother fox was doing in the area, and why she had chosen to give birth there. Maybe she had run out of time?
