As the sun rises over our beloved zoo, Samantha Villa, the esteemed headkeeper of the Animal Ambassador Team, takes us on a journey into the world of this precious little fox. With a sparkle in her eye and warmth in her voice, Samantha shares the heartwarming tale of this resilient baby boy, who has begun the adventure of a lifetime under our care.

In the gentle dawn light, our little kit eagerly masters the art of bottle feeding, his tiny paws gripping the bottle with determination. With each nourishing sip, he grows stronger, his delicate frame filled with newfound vitality. Yet, amidst his hearty appetite, our little fox finds solace in sleep, drifting into peaceful slumber with a contented sigh.

During feeding time, our kit truly comes alive, his playful vocalizations filling the air with joyous melodies. Each adorable chirp and chirrup captures the hearts of all who see him, a testament to the wonder and beauty of nature’s creations.
