The 65th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival is gearing up to march into The Village on Sunday, Dec. 5, returning to its usual format after adapting to COVID-19 restrictions last year.
La Jolla residents have spotted some not so sly foxes in and around their yards recently, with some people taking to social media to post photos and videos of the creatures, both solo and in groups called skulks.
The Humane Society rescued the fox, which was taken to the Bahde Wildlife Center in San Diego. She had an abnormal gait, using both hind legs in unison and effectively bunny-hopping, said spokeswoman Nina Thompson.
Wildlife veterinarians were worried the animal was suffering from hip dysplasia or neosporosis, but results from lab work and radiographs came back normal.
The fox was transferred to the Ramona Wildlife Center for more space in a larger enclosure and additional observation.
