WATCH: Fox found hiding in toy room after racing inside Lincoln home

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln woman got quite the surprise recently while grabbing groceries from her car when a fox suddenly appeared in the doorway.

Lincoln Animal Control says the animal then raced inside, ran upstairs and disappeared.

An officer was called and eventually found the fox hiding in a toy room.

He was safely secured and taken to a wildlife rescue.

Officials are reminding everyone that animals can bite, so you shouldn’t handle them on your own.
