Buckeye and Ash

In April 2016, gray foxes Buckeye and Ash were born in the state of Minnesota. They were handraised, which ultimately led to it being unsafe for them to be released into the wild since they never learned to hunt, protect themselves from predators, find shelter, and the necessities to survive from their gray fox parents. They needed a safe place in captivity to live out the remainder of their lives. Buckeye and Ash came to live at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in summer 2016 and now reside outdoors in Perkins Wildlife Center & Woods Garden.
