Fox rescued after 15-mile journey under seat of classic car in Sussex
He was taken on a journey by an unsuspecting driver
The RSPCA's been called to rescue a young fox found hiding under the passenger seat of a classic Alfa Romeo in East Sussex.
The car had been driven from Hove to a classic car garage near Plumpton Green by the unsuspecting driver on Tuesday (May 18th).
When the mechanics started to look at the car they realised the small fox was curled up under the seat, and immediately rang the RSPCA for help.
Inspector Kate Barnes was able to rescue the fox and take him back to Hove to be released as fortunately he was unharmed.
Kate said:
“I think the mechanics had quite a shock when they were faced with this fox cub - luckily he was totally unharmed by his ordeal and is big enough to be able to survive after being released back into the wild.
“We have had lots of rain recently so it may have been that he was looking for some shelter and didn’t realise he was about to be taken on a trip through Sussex!”
