Storm, the fox, discovered a great buddy a lady could hope for in one handsome red fox named Jade.
Storm’s companionship, on the other hand, was exactly what Jade had been lacking all along – he had never met another fox in his whole adult life.
Jade was brought to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) over two years ago after someone tried to illegally keep him as a pet, Scott Michaelis, a staffer at the AWCC, told The Dodo. Up until Storm’s arrival, the 3-year-old had no other foxes like himself to interact with, though the center did its best to make up for it with forms of animal enrichment and human interaction.
Storm, on the other hand, was rescued from an illegal breeder in Montana.
Jade, on the other hand, is now able to enjoy the sort of companionship he would have gotten if he had been let free and wild from the start.
“Red foxes are known to maintain a number of relationships in the wild,” a press release from the center about Storm’s arrival said. “The addition of Storm onto campus will be a mutually beneficial relationship and form of enrichment for both [Jade and Storm].”
It appears like Jade and Storm are enjoying their growing bond as well. They clicked immediately away after meeting for the first time.
