A young, dynamic family just moved into spacious property near the lake in downtown Chicago.
No, not the brood of some crypto-billionaire. A family of foxes has taken up residence in Millennium Park.
A Reddit user and photographer sparked curiosity about the animals after posting images of the young foxes in the Chicago subreddit. "There's a lot of great things that they're foraging," Lehrer said. "They're displaying a lot of really positive natural behaviors, they're hunting birds and small mammals and things like that." She said the kits have been spotted in the garden alongside their mom.
"We encourage folks to really appreciate the nature that's around them and really just observe, don't disturb," Lehrer said. "So keep your distance around wildlife, certainly, and give them a lot of space." "We think the red foxes are kind of hanging out more in residential areas and certain pockets where they can avoid coyotes," Lehrer said. "And you know, Millennium Park might be one of those really great spaces, even though there's more human activity there.""We don't know exactly when they're crossing these roads, but maybe they're finding times where the traffic is lower," Lehrer said. "They're more active at night.
