A black fox that is extremely rare was rescued when it was observed roaming around the streets of the UK. The creature was initially sighted in the Vale of Glamorgan in Wales a fortnight ago, prompting Black Foxes UK to conduct an extensive search for it.
There were numerous accounts of a forsaken silver fox in Barry, and officials were attempting to pinpoint its whereabouts.
Eventually, on April 24, the animal, which is not indigenous to the UK and is commonly raised as a domesticated pet, was discovered in a "secure facility," according to the BBC.

In a statement on Facebook, Black Foxes UK reported that despite receiving numerous calls and messages, they were unable to locate the owner of a fox that had escaped.
The RSPCA's ability to assist was limited due to resource constraints, and they requested that only injured animals be reported. Although they attempted to capture the fox multiple times, they were unsuccessful in doing so.
The fox that was eventually captured was a male believed to be around two years old, and was given the name Shadow by rescuers. Shadow was taken to Vets4Pets and was found to be in good health. Black Foxes UK stated that Shadow was very comfortable around people and had been socialized well prior to his escape.
They also reported that a second fox may be injured and requested that anyone who sees it contact the RSPCA emergency line. Black Foxes UK expressed gratitude towards the Local Authority Animal Warden and Shua Trust Home and Sanctuary for their dedication and support towards local escaped silver foxes during the difficult times of the pandemic.
They encouraged people to show their support by donating to the organization.
