Mikhail and Nikolai are the newest additions to the Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary.
They were purchased by an individual from a Russian website that breeds foxes as pets.
Upon their arrival to the US from Russia, they were confiscated by customs, as it is not legal
to own Red Foxes in Texas. Texas Parks and Wildlife contacted us for help to provide these
foxes a new home. Mik and Nik are very fluffy, young male foxes. They love to wrestle and
play in their indoor enclosure while we prepare their outdoor enclosure.
