**BREAKING: Wildlife Rescuer’s Daring Disguise Saves the Day (and the Kit’s Sanity)!**
In a bizarre and hilarious incident, a wildlife rescuer in Virginia donned a RED FOX MASK to feed an orphaned kit, and we’re not even making this up! The dramatic footage, which has gone viral, shows the brave rescuer, identified as 32-year-old Jenny Jenkins, suiting up in the furry disguise to gain the trust of the tiny, adorable ball of fluff.
According to eyewitnesses, Jenkins, a seasoned wildlife expert, carefully crafted the mask to resemble a real red fox, complete with eerie, beady eyes and a mischievous grin. She then proceeded to channel her inner fox, crawling on all fours and making “sly” little meows to coax the orphaned kit into accepting a life-saving dose of formula.
“I knew it was a long shot, but I had to try something,” Jenkins explained in an interview, still chuckling about the absurdity of it all. “Those little kits can be feisty, and I didn’t want to scare it off. So, I put on the mask and… well, let’s just say it was a fox-tastic idea!”
The kit, estimated to be just a few weeks old, was found wandering alone in the woods, its mother nowhere to be found. After being taken to a local wildlife rehabilitation center, the little one refused to eat, prompting Jenkins to don the cunning costume.
The plan worked like a charm. The kit, completely oblivious to Jenkins’ true identity, lapped up the formula and even seemed to enjoy the “fox’s” company. Witnesses described the scene as “surreal” and “utterly adorable.”
“I mean, who wouldn’t want to be fed by a fake fox?” laughed Jenkins. “It’s not every day you get to be part of a wildlife rescue… or a wildlife comedy show!”
The kit, now named Rusty, is recovering nicely and is expected to be released back into the wild soon. As for Jenkins, she’s being hailed as a hero and a master of creative problem-solving.
And who knows? Maybe one day, she’ll start a wildlife-rescue-improv-comedy troupe, traveling the country in a red fox onesie, saving animals and making people laugh. Stranger things have happened, right?
