The Story of Todd the Red Fox at the Toronto Zoo
Listen now
Description
You are probably familiar with the animal that we are going to cover today. These animals are found all over the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario. They are also found in many other places that you may not realize. In fact, there may be many things that you don’t know about our animals today even though we see them often. Erica Jacques, Zookeeper at the Toronto Zoo, joins me to discuss Todd the red fox. Todd was rescued after he was found abandoned.  Erica discusses how the Zoo built a new habitat for Todd that would stimulate his active mind and provide him with everything that he needs, including the health care and nutrition that he would not have had in the wild.
