Wildlife worker dons cunning disguise to care for rescued newborn fox

A newborn fox recently delivered to a wildlife center could see an unusual sight when she grows old enough to open her eyes: a human caregiver dressed as a fox.

Staff at the Richmond Wildlife Center in Virginia adopted the strategy as part of an effort to prevent the animal from over-associating with humans, the center said in a Facebook post on Tuesday. A video showed a staff member bottle-feeding the tiny creature, while wearing gloves and a red, furry, pointed mask to cover their human face.
