The Rev. John Ubel noticed a fox on the grounds of the Cathedral of St. Paul as he returned home from a run. He thought that it was kind of neat. The story of the Cathedral Fox has become known as the story of the first sign that something was terribly wrong. He would help the wrong person. A cry for help. The dark was the second sign of trouble. Ubel was returning from a wedding reception the next night. The sound was a bit alarming, I thought, and that must be the fox I heard yesterday. The crisis was clear the next morning. Ubel said that he got up very early on Saturday and heard the noise again. He followed the sound of a crying fox into the bushes and realized it had fallen into the depths of the Cathedral, an area that was framed in iron fencing. Ubel said that it looked a lot smaller than the fox he had seen. Had she been distraught, trying to save her kit after the fall? She couldn't reach the kit. Ubel could help. He knew there were people who could catch and trap the wild animal. He picked up his phone and started making calls. There is a need for help. It was a weekend. Ubel says that he made calls all over the place. The fox had been trapped for at least 48 hours without food or water, according to Ubel. He says he decided he would better do something himself. What to feed a fox? Ubel says that he did a search on the internet. The fox had some bananas, dried fruit, and a puddle of water after he ran to the grocery store. The priest was on the phone again. The fox squeezed behind a window grate by Sunday evening. Ubel says it was not moving anymore. Help the military. The priest left a message for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota. The public is required to drop off injured wildlife at the hospital, but it has no ambulance service. The priest talked to the communications director on Sunday night. He recalls that she told him that the city was good about helping and would probably come out first on Monday. Ubel did not think the fox could survive another night. He said that the animal will be dead by then. After the call ended, Ubel tried to focus on dinner at his mom's house in Highland Park. He must have been carrying his food around. His mom asked if he was thinking about that animal. The phone rang again. Two staff members at the center offered to help after they finished working. Ubel said that he left the food on his plate and went back to the Cathedral. The vehicle was extricated. One of the volunteers used a ladder to descend into the window well of the Cathedral and untangled the fox from his hiding spot. There was a clear crisis. Ubel said that they were gone as soon as they came up. This must be serious. It was. The fox had low blood pressure and was close to death. It was saved in time. Ubel says that they told him that the animal wouldn't have made it through another night. Hope. The future of the fox was not clear. "We honestly didn't think it was going to survive." He was a gray fox, not as well-known as the red fox. The gray fox was three months old when it was born. His bloodwork showed a case of lead poisoning. The days crept by as the priest waited for news he wasn't certain would be good. He says he didn't want to bother them. The fox's blood pressure registered after three days of critical care. He was fighting for his life. Time will tell if the fox will survive the trauma he is going through, according to a post on the wildlife center's Facebook page. The post was published a week after the fox was admitted. The priest said that there was hope. The national geography. The fox continued his recovery as he moved out of critical care, with humans increasingly at the perimeter of his life. It is not like he was a domesticated fox, if there is such a thing. A fox with humans cannot be released into the wild, which is a very bad thing. Is he going to be released? He would move on to an independent wildlife rehabilitator for the outdoor conditioning phase of his rehabilitation. Someone arrived to take his photo before he left. National Geographic enters our story here. There is a photo of the Ark. Did you know about the Photo Ark? The Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is occasionally used to take portraits of 20,000 species living in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries across the world. He was a guest speaker at the annual symposium of the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Association. We contact him when we get a patient because he has a list of species he needs to photograph. He will do his best to get a photo of the patient. The fox may not have realized it, but that was how it worked. There is no human interaction other than the transfer of the fox into the container for the photo. It is amazing to see a man at work. He has a good eye, he knows what he wants, he is organized and efficient, and he puts minimal stress on the animal. A lot of people want the photo, butJoel is quick, quiet and efficient, and that is why we work with him. The picture. He explained his process in an email. He wrote that he always photographs animals on a white or black background so there are no distraction in the picture. I try to get the shoot done as quickly as possible because the comfort and safety of the animal is most important. The entire shoot takes a few minutes. What did he think of the fox in a few minutes? The fox was adorable, and I felt good knowing he was in good hands with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota. The gray fox had been dying in a window well for about six weeks. For a moment, he was. The artist has a bigger goal than the image itself. The Photo Ark is a project that I have been involved with for many years. The Photo Ark gives animals the chance to be seen, and have their stories told, while there is still time to save them and their habitats. In my images, I want viewers to see that the animals are important and worthy of preservation. Readers can learn more about the project at natgeo.org. ReHAB. After his photo shoot, the fox was taken to a farm owned by the LaFonds, which is located between Maple Plain and Delano, about 35 miles from St. Paul. The LaFonds help prepare the animals to be released back into the wild. LaFond has a day job as a certified public accountant and is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to rehabilitate wildlife. LaFond took a class at the Humane Society in Golden Valley on wildlife rehabilitation when she and her husband were at the University of Minnesota. The Humane Society had a litter of foxes, but they didn't know anyone to take them. We said that we have a small farm and could take them. While they work with a variety of wildlife, they are known as specialists at working with red and gray foxes and have moved to a larger farm. The fox pens are large and come with dead trees, brush piles and other things that the fox would see in their habitat. The fox was in need of conditioning. LaFond says that he hadn't moved around a lot because of his treatment. The fox climbed trees and hunted prey as the summer went on. She says that he got better and stronger. He made a friend of another gray fox. This fox is from a rehabilitation center in Duluth. The two of them got along well. LaFond was not surprised that the animals were doing well. She says that foxes are very tough and can survive if you feed them the right amount. They can go from surviving to thriving with fluids and food. The time had come to let these survivors go. RELEASED. The Cathedral fox did not live in the city. He and his friend were taken to a property three hours from St. Paul in Minn. Crating them was probably the hardest part of the journey. They are not friendly and we want them to be afraid and wild. The person who opened up their habitat to the foxes was a friend. There is no hunting or trapping allowed on the 300 acres that the private owner has with the gray foxes. The fox of Cathedral Hill was freed three months after he was rescued. LaFond says that a friend did the transport. As they run off into the woods, you wave goodbye. A sad goodbye? I have mixed feelings about it, but we give them a chance and they are prepared. There are gifts. It has been almost a year since Ubel spotted a fox on the grounds of the Cathedral. The priest says that he has become more aware of nature and wildlife around him as another spring begins to bloom. Ubel says that creation is a gift from God that we don't always take the time to appreciate. The fox has taught me to be more aware of my surroundings, and I am more likely to see the beauty of nature. Since saving the fox, Ubel has become a supporter of the World Resources Council and its work. The story of the fox was shared in a bulletin post called "Foxes Have Dens." Ubel says that the animal clearly captured his heart. LaFond agrees. She says that it is an amazing story. You can learn more.
