A couple of years ago, a cow stampeded through town. A bear visited the Green last fall. And now, Morristown has some Fox News to report.

As in, a den of foxes.

Shutterbug Ian Gale captured these cute critters frolicking in the Fourth Ward. It’s only a matter of time before Morristown rates its own series on Animal Planet.

  1. What great pictures, Ian! And what an adorable fox family. How close were you able to get to them? Thanks for sharing! Jan

  2. An interesting article. Having seen foxes often in my own backyard, I have wondered….is the increased population of foxes related to the decrease in sightings of Canadian geese?
