Grayson is the only Gray Fox at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. Grayson was orphaned, kept as a pet, and then surrendered to the Sanctuary. She is too reliant on humans to be released into the wild.
While living at the Sanctuary, Grayson developed a hematoma on her ear and needed surgery to repair it. The healing process and scar tissue gave her ear that little flip downwards.
Florida has two kinds of foxes: The Red Fox and the Gray Fox. All of the foxes at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary were unfortunately surrendered pets. People may think foxes can be household pets because they are canines, but foxes are very different from dogs. Foxes are wild animals that forage, hunt, and catch their food. Foxes can also carry diseases that can be harmful to humans, including roundworm, mange, leptospirosis, and rabies.
