Overview
- Berlin police and firefighters pulled two fox pups from a roughly two-meter-deep rainwater pipe in Spandau after the animals were stuck for days.
- The pups were severely dehydrated, very thin, and one was undercooled when found, according to the wildlife charity Fuchshilfe Berlin.
- Officers handed the animals to Fuchshilfe Berlin, which says the pair is eating again and is considered over the worst for now.
- Neighbors had heard crying for several days before calling, and rescuers said a delay of one or two more days likely would have been fatal.
- The foxes will stay in rehabilitation to regain weight, and the group will decide on any release only after further assessment.
