Wildlife: Workmen rescue fox cub covered in mud and petrol from skip

-

A fox cub that was found covered in mud and petrol in a skip is being cared for by wildlife experts. Workmen found the cub standing on a piece of wood to keep her head above deep water in a skip in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshir­e on April 16. They called the Scottish SPCA who are now caring for the six-week-old animal at their National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Clackmanna­nshire, where staff have named her Diesel. Centre workers hope to be able to release the cub back into the wild later this year, once she is strong enough to fend for herself.
