Sam the fox has been living on the campus for a year, and she was recently spotted with another fox named Prince.
This week they welcomed five cubs, and staff say they have been leaving food out for Sam and her family, while giving them space.
Exciting news we've all been waiting on... the fox cubs have arrived, five we think. Congrats #TrinityFox�� Sam & Prince ������. Huge thank you to student, Michael Gilna for sharing this amazing video with us. pic.twitter.com/XGiGa92bQ8— Trinity College Dublin (@tcddublin) April 20, 2021
Collie Ennis, a zoologist at Trinity College, says the good news has lifted their spirits.
