Saving Scar - Capturing an injured wild urban fox

Scar, the 3 year old dominant male in the group of urban foxes that visit a garden in Birmingham UK, is badly injured during the 2022 breeding season and needs to be rescued. Filmed in 4K UHD on Panasonic GH5 & GH4, Z-Cam E2 M4 and GoPro Hero 8 & 5 cameras.

🤔😂 So true 😂

[@mariashaffer-gordon3561]

What a beautiful story. I wonder if Scar has the ability to realize how incredibly lucky he was. He's clearly intelligent, and it seems that he's forgiven Steve for capturing him. I was amused at how he wasn't sure what to do when he was released until someone told him he was free to go home. I hope Scar and the rest of the urban foxes in Birmingham never need this level of care again, but I'm glad that it was available and that people cared enough to give Scar the treatment he desperately needed. The footage of the reunited family at the end just says everything about how worthwhile the effort was. Kudos to everybody who was involved in his capture and recovery.

[@michellefrench6617]

It's a good idea to leave a towel over the trap As you are training the animal to feed from the trap. In that way the environment is familiar when it is finally trapped - like a den - And lessons to stress experience. Thank you for what you do! ❤🦊🤗 You are wonderful!

[@jackileensauler4817]

Thank goodness you were giving him food and he didnt have to forage while he was badly hurt. Means quite a bit to their survival. I had one got hurt...barely could make it to the bowls but in time gained his strength and vitality in a few weeks. So glad he didnt get infected or worse. What a wonderful thing you've done for Scar... And he rewarded you with his return... He TRUSTS you....

amazing steve respect to you mate

[@Kristin2885]

Well done! I tried to capture a couple of foxes with mange and it was so difficult as they would never go all the way into the cage (even with leaving a trail of food) and preferred to pilfer food from people's garbages. Worked with both SPCA and a rescue group (in Canada). One tip from the rescue group was to submerge the bottom of the cage under an inch of dry soil, so the foxes wouldn't be put off by walking on metal/bars. This extra disguise step is their standard with trapping, especially for wild foxes that aren't used to humans. Anyway, long story but the foxes were eventually captured (by hand) under a porch and they were rehabbed and released. I went to the release as well - it was magical!

[@nonombre5409]

Makes me sad to think in the wild those injuries would be a death sentence of starving to death. Then it makes me happy to see you gave him a new lease on life. That is a wonderful gift to give a wild animal. I would hope to think the fox understood you saved him from a miserable death.

Steve, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story with us. Thank you for giving safety and comfort to the different generations of foxes through the years. What you’ve done is so inspirational and kind, and it helps encourage people to do random acts of kindness themselves. Again, thank you so much for doing what you do for these wondrous and amazing animals.
