GREENSBORO, N.C. — Upon completion, the Greensboro urban loop will undoubtedly help navigate around the city quicker.
However, right now, it's creating tension for wildlife that lives there.
We're hearing about more fox sightings near the loop's construction sites near Kenneth Road from our viewers.
Foxes are mostly harmless to people however, it's advised that you leave them alone.
If you're worried one might be rabid, call animal control.
What You Should Know About Foxes Out During The Day from the Humane Society:
- Foxes may prey on small pets or livestock (such as rabbits, guinea pigs or chickens), so pets should be kept indoors or housed in sturdy structures.
- Foxes will also eat various fruits, but they usually do not bother garden vegetables.
- Sometimes foxes are blamed for damage they did not cause, such as when they are spotted eating from spilled trash when neighborhood dogs or other animals were responsible for the overturned trashcan.
- A fox cutting through your yard is probably just passing through on their way between hunting areas and no action is necessary on your part.
