A fox family has made a home in Courtice, and Clarington’s Animal Services Division is asking residents to give them space.
The mother fox is busy raising her kits, and they will naturally move on once they are strong and ready.
According to Clarington’s Animal Services Division, feeding them or trying to approach them can do more harm than good. If they become too comfortable around humans, they may struggle to survive on their own in the wild.
Officals advise residents should keep pets on a leash and remind children to stay away from the area.
Officials state that the best way to appreciate these animals is from a distance and only taking ethical wildlife photos.
