SAN DIEGO (June 12, 2023) — Three young bat-eared foxes, recently born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park @sdzsafaripark, are now venturing out of the den and into their habitat. The kits are spending more time outside of the den with their mother, Winter—a first-time mom. They enjoy wrestling with one another and playing with mom’s big ears. Their current daily activities include chasing each other’s tails and catching crickets. Wildlife care specialists have confirmed that the three youngsters are doing well, and are nursing throughout the day and night. Within the past few days, they have started to eat solid food—and mealworms are their current favorites! Winter and her kits can be seen now at the Safari Park’s Nairobi Village area.
