Stowaway Fox Travels from England to New York on a Ship

A fox managed to travel secretly from England to New York, hidden inside a ship. The animal was discovered by customs officials upon its arrival and handed over to the Bronx Zoo, where it is receiving care. The fox is a male, approximately two years old and weighing five kilograms. It is not known how it managed to enter the ship docked at the port of Southampton, but it managed to hide so well that it was not discovered until its arrival in New York. The zoo staff is caring for the animal and will find it a suitable living environment after medical examinations. A spokesperson for the port of Southampton jokingly commented that the fox should have chosen the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship for its next trip, as it regularly sails to the US.
