After embarking on a long journey aboard a cargo ship, a "sly as a fox" stowaway is now calling the Bronx home.
Discovered on a ship arriving at the Port of New York & New Jersey from Southampton, England, the red fox was placed in the care of the Bronx Zoo on Feb. 19, one day after it was "safely secured" by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
According to the Bronx Zoo, the animal spent approximately 14 days at sea among several automobiles. The vessel carrying the cars and the stowaway left Southampton on Feb. 4.
Zoo officials weren't sure how or when the fox was discovered, but they told USA TODAY in a statement that the 11-pound male fox appears to be in "good condition."
"He seems to be settling in well,” Keith Lovett, the zoo’s director of animal programs, told the Associated Press. "It’s gone through a lot."
