Tiny fox cub rescued from dog in Clevedon

A fox cub that was rescued from a dog is recovering at a wildlife rescue centre in Somerset.

The cub, named Marion, is being given round-the-clock care by staff at Secret World Wildlife Rescue in East Huntspill.A member of the public took the fox cub to a vets after it was found by her dog in a garden in Clevedon, Somerset. She was about one week old and her eyes were not yet open.

She was taken to Secret World and has begun to make progress, building up her strength thanks to the charity's animal carers.

The centre is already caring for a number of foxes but they are older than Marion and it's not yet decided if she will join them.
