When Craig Mcgettrick and his coworker set out to clean the garden, they had no idea what they were about to find. While clearing out trash, they stumbled upon an old, worn-out mattress. Little did they know, something extraordinary was hidden beneath it.
As they removed the mattress, they were shocked to find five tiny creatures huddled together. At first, Craig thought that someone had intentionally left them there, knowing they would dispose of the garbage. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Uncertain about what to do, Craig decided it was best to take the animals to a shelter where they could receive the care they needed. But little did he know, the real surprise was yet to come.
Craig took a few pictures with the adorable creatures and shared them on social media. That’s when a founder of a fox group stumbled upon the photos and had an inkling that these “puppies” might actually be something else.
A kind-hearted lady reached out to them, attaching images of fox puppies and asking if there was a possibility that these little ones were foxes. And indeed, she was right. Upon closer inspection, it was confirmed that the “puppies” were actually fox cubs.
It turned out that their mother had chosen the mattress as a den to raise her young. The national fox group decided to reunite the cubs with their mother, but they weren’t sure how.
With a plan in mind, they transported the cubs back to Craig’s garden in a box, where the mattress originally lay. And to their surprise, a fox came bounding towards them. The mother fox had recognized her babies and quickly scooped them up, disappearing into the wild once again.
This incredible discovery left everyone amazed. It just goes to show that sometimes, nature can surprise us in the most unexpected ways. The fox cubs were much better off with their original mother, who could nurture them in their natural habitat, than in an animal refuge.
