The foxes are said to be 'doing quite well' in the busy park's garden, an ecologist said.
The Urban Wildlife Institute, based at the Lincoln Park Zoo, works with the city to research wild animals in Chicago and make plans that work well for both wildlife and humans.
Red foxes are easy to distinguish, Lehrer said. They have striking red coats, long, bushy tales akin to a feather duster and black “socks” on the bottom of their legs that match black markings on the back of their ears.The animals are more active at night, when they navigate the city and hunt. The foxes’ hoarse barks enlivened the otherwise serene evening in the park. When one woman walked by with her pug, a curious fox briefly followed.
The critters are more afraid of humans than humans are afraid of them, Lehrer added. She advised people who come across foxes to “observe and don’t disturb.” While it can be exciting and fun to watch foxes from afar, it’s important to not approach them and not feed them.
