The fox has reappeared in Panevėžys: some admire it, others fear it
Panevėžys have spotted a fox wandering in Klaipėdos Street: some people are fascinated by the animal, others fear it. It is not the first year that the unexpected visitor has come to town. The journalists of the news portal JP wondered what to do when you see a wild animal in the city and why they keep coming back.
According to M. Kazlauskas, these situations often resolve themselves – the animals come to the city and soon leave on their own, so no action is usually necessary.
„The situation is such that it is better for people to stay away from the animal, to stay away from it, to inform the general emergency number if they notice that the animal is injured“, – says the specialist.
Healthy foxes avoid people, but if the animal tries to approach, it may be a sign of illness. Jurgita Fiodorovienė, an animal care specialist at the Panevėžys Nature School, mentions that one should pay attention to the appearance of the fox.
„Its whole appearance shows whether it is sick. If a fox is healthy and people do not go near it, it will not do anything. However, a safe distance should be kept," says Fiodoroviene.
If a fox is seen prowling around the house, the animal care specialist recommends keeping pets safely confined.
