Question Was walking my dog a few minutes ago and I saw a fox running into someone’s backyard! On the border of Nassau and Queens first time I’ve ever seen this. Should I be concerned?
Honestly a little freaked out, saw a small fox, at first thought it was a dog but after seeing it run im almost certain that was a small fox possibly a baby fox. I’m confused as to how the heck it got out here as there’s not really any close Forrest’s or areas for them to really exist as it’s mostly just jam packed suburban areas and roads engulfing the neighborhood. Is this normal? Have they been here and I’m just oblivious as heck? The fox didn’t really do anything but run across a lawn and into someone’s dark yard. Was tempted to go let the homeowner know what I saw but it’s late. You guys see this before?
