ZooTampa has two more fuzzy residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadie and Seth, two red foxes who were among 250 animals rescued from a fur farm in Ohio, have settled into their new digs after arriving in Tampa last month. The pair were quarantined for about 30 days as part of health evaluations after their arrival, zoo officials said in a Monday press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can be seen in the zoo’s Florida Wilds habitat, near the Roaring Springs ride. Seth has a classic reddish coat, while Sadie’s coat is a black-ish color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They have been observed actively exploring their surroundings and engaging playfully with each other,” the release notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seth and Sadie were rescued nearly a year ago from the Grand River Fur Exchange, where foxes, coyotes, wolf-dog hybrids and skunks were raised and killed for fur, urine and as exotic pets, according to the Humane Society of the United States. The Humane Society said it worked with Ohio authorities in the rescue operation after the facility’s owner passed away, \u201cescalating an already-dire animal welfare crisis on the property<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
