Mother Fox Returns For Her Babies | Never Seen Before Footage!! 

My grandfather rescued an injured fox, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the 1970s. It took to him, lived with him, and rode in his pickup truck, looking out the back window all the time. After it was healed it took off. Then months later SHE came back with her kits, just to show them to my grandfather. He pet them and played with them for a few hours on his front porch, and then she left with her babies, never to be seen again. She just wanted him to meet her family. She considered him a friend. He's passed away now but that story lives on.

"Are those my kids?" **Sniff sniff** "Those ARE my kids!" **Starts moonwalking**

I love how she kept checking to see if she left anyone behind. That's how you know you got too many babies lol

Even checks the box to make sure she’s got them all! What a mum!👍♥️

For those asking, the reason why she digs is because she wants to mix her footprints with sand and avoid being tracked considering that someone previously found her nest. Also they are super smart at looking for traps etc. They learned that from their ancestors.

I love that the mom comes back one last time, like “let me make sure I didn’t miss one”

The fact that she was really making sure she grabbed all her pups just was so special to me!

Foxes are such a beautiful animal. Thank you so much for saving this precious little family ❤

She thinks the box is going to close and trap her inside, she's testing the box to see if it's a trap, she's smart.🦊

Humans: we must handle babies with utmost care The fox: **y e e t** we gotta gOOOO

I love how gentle she Yeeted them out of the box 📦 onto the ground ...I laughed a little .😅

Love this - also because the owner obviously had a VERY BIG HEART for these baby foxes to let the rescue team just saw all of his patio into pieces in order to save these little ones.

I had a family of nine foxes living under my summer house in Dulwich (south east London) - I found a female cub in the bushes, very young.... She stayed in the garden for years, she recognised my voice (and probably smell) and would come when I called her.... She would wait patiently at the back door every morning to be fed (she really liked ham and her favourite was prawn crackers which were a very rare treat!) and if I didn't appear quickly enough she would jump up and rattle the door handle..... She would bring her cubs to show me every spring for about five years.... There was also a very large, quite majestic looking male fox, clearly the 'daddy' - he wasn't aggressive but I always knew to keep my distance.... One day he appeared with the end of his tail hanging off, it was obviously painful and infected - I crushed some antibiotics into a jam sandwich over the course of a few days and the damaged end fell off, with the infection cleared.... He then would wait in the garden to be fed with the others.... Six months later, he appeared again with one eye missing and a very infected socket - again antibiotics in a jam sandwich and a week later he was as good as new - I named him Cyclops and he became very much a part of my fox family and lived for another seven years.....

I love the way she just yeets them out of the box and is like "WE GOTTTA GOOOO"

You can see her thinking and quadruple checking the box at the end so considerate the people and the mother

I doubt she stumbles across them😂 she has seen every single moment youve spent there and knows exactly where her babies are. Intelligent creatures...she fully inspects the box, can i dig under it, is it a trap...her motherly instinct overcomes her fear. She is braver every time. Wish we had more human parents like this. Great video👏🏽

The babies were so quiet. Most baby animals are screaming like they’re being tortured. These guys were so chill!

I love that she comes back to double check if she got them all!

I like how she makes sure she didn’t leave any behind.

3:41 The way those babies are just cuddled in her arms. ❤

I love how she remembers to come back for every single one, then one more time just to make sure she doesnt missing one. Lovely.

Aware of all kind of tricks, traps, and hardship, the momy fox never abandoned her cubs. She is clever, meticulous, and determined to "rescue" all her babies. A great lesson for human parents.

She dug the leaves and twigs away because they were producing noise, and could give her away while she saves her babies. I love her dedication. There’s a reason they say ‘clever like a fox’.

I was CRACKING UP starting at 7:40, watching the fox digging in fast motion!! 😂😂 Remind me of watching old episodes of Benny Hill....🤣🤣

She's definitely a better mom than a lot of human parents..

I love how after collecting them all she checks the empty box THREE times just in case, great Mama to those cubs 🐾

I'm baffled as to why those pups were so docile at the beginning. Baby kittens younger than that would like to tear your hand off. Very cool vid. Thank you for helping. 👍

How incredibly calm those baby fox were while that woman was holding them.

I love how she makes noise to see if there is an animal trying to set her up. She’s making sure the coast is clear and being extra cautious.

It’s crazy how she is aware of all kind of tricks and traps. The reason why she’s digging up the earth is so you can’t hear her when she walk close to the box. The dry leaves make a lot of noise and BTW they’re called a Sly Fox for a reason.

A mom who cares for her babies. God bless her.

Animals that live in the wild are so amazing how they survive that mother is awesome.

I love watching the gears turning in her head as she figured out how to get them out of the box, you can see how she’s trying everything while being as cautious as possible. Such an expressive creature

I love how Momma fox doubled checked to see if she got all her babies👍, humans forget to check the back seat of the car for their kids 🤦‍♀️

What a couple of beautiful people as well. There's nothing more endearing than someone who cares so much for animals ❤

Wow super powerful, my favorite part is when she double check multiple times making sure she didn’t see anymore love it!!

She came back for every one of them and looks like she came back one extra time to make sure she has them all. She's a great mommy!

I love the fact that she is such a good mama!! She came back even after she grabbed the last one to look around and make sure she didn't leave any of her babies behind!!! 💜 I love wildlife!!!

*I absolutely adore how the mom returns one last time, as if she's saying, 'Let me double-check and make sure I didn't overlook any.*

Need more humans like this ❤

You can feel her panic and anxiety...imagine being in her position.

She was so scared, poor girl... I'm glad all went well! Cheers guys!

Bless that mom, she is willing to defy the smells of humans and the sounds to get to her babies.

awhh... this is fantastic. The love of a momma to her babies is amazing. Beautiful animals.

I love how she grabs them out of the box like she’s kidnapping them 😂

It’s so amazing how she came back for every single baby then after just to make sure she had em all I hope they grew up to be healthy foxes

Thank you for saving such precious animals.

Absolutely adorable!! Thank you for the opportunity to see the babies. 🦊🦊🦊💕💕💕

She went out to get some milk and came back to her house being foreclosed 😨

I'm mostly amazed at how she very clearly removes all the leaves and other noise producing things from around the box to allow her to grab the babies unnoticed. That's incredibly smart.

Thank you so much for ensuring the babies are safe for mum fox to pick. Wow didn’t realize how smart they are. She even had to check and double check to make sure that she didn’t miss any of the babies. I hope for the kids safety at the new location . God bless them all!

Love how she kept looking in empty box to make sure all babies are out. Can't get enough of those cutie babies. 😁👍

I lived in a place in the middle of London for a while and below my apartment was a small area of unused land. The foxes had moved in from the country and set up home in the unused land. The screeches of them mating was very fightening and sounded like Banshees wailing. It was always a great joy to stand on my terrace looking down below on to the unused land where the beautiful fox cubs could freely run about and play without any fear of humans bothering them, sometimes they would spot me from below and give a great curious quizical stare. On one occasion the young cubs were exploring a nearby garden and one of them got his head stuck in a narrow opening on an old Belfast Sink. The poor little cub couldnt free itself no matter how it tried and the mother was very perplexed by the situation looking around and in myndirection for help and a solution, I tried the neighbours but to no avail and then I phoned the RSPCA and explained the situation. Within 30 mins they sent someone round and freed the cub. I was very pleased with my little part in the rescue op. :-)

This was a poor way of doing this. You should have left them under the porch. Now they don't have a safe den to stay in. Not only that, but you decided to use power tools at a time she was trying to get her cubs. PS if they tend to look for another baby there is another baby. They DO infact know how to count. I tested this theory with my own animals.

Thank you for being so kind to both mum and babies, so good to see people that really care about animals!!!!

These folks know what is important. They don't have to think twice about ripping up their porch. Wonderful. Kudos and blessings to you. Human beings.!

That fox has definitely seen a few traps in her day...

You people are absolutely wonderful.!!! Thank you. AND what a wonderful fox mama .... she made 100% sure she picked up ALL her babies.

They are just too cute, you can see how someone might mistake them for puppies. What a good Mom, I was cheering her on, she broke my heart desperately trying to dig her way into the box. Thank you for your work, it must be the best job in Canada.

Bless her Heart. She’s a great mom.

Frantic momma fox: "Are there any left? Have I forgotten anyone? Let me check. Let me double-check."

That was AWESOME! Busy mom for sure!🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

Thank you for putting these beautiful little creatures in a safe location for the mother fox to collect them. This was beautiful to watch, those babies are cute and the mother fox is a very beautiful creature as well.

Foxes are so smart. And that mother was so scared, you could see her hind legs literally shaking the first time.

Man, those pups are tough, the way the mom hurriedly flings them out of the box.

Well done, saving fox wildlife in such a safe manner. Thank you for helping her get her babies.

I wonder if one was missing? She was pretty adamant about looking around and with her actions, like one was missing :( Pretty little Momma. What wonderful people helping her, especially having to deconstruct their stairs! I hope they are blessed humans!

The fox was nervous because of all the construction sounds. Sounds that would make any wild animal nervous. Thats why she was acting strange.

Momma was so scared but so determined.. I felt bad for her..

Thank you for saving them ❤

The second one was like, 'NOPE nope' "my mommy said not to talk to strangers!"

Mom has obviously not seen a box before, she was well puzzled on how to get her babies out. Her instinct was to dig underneath like it was a fence, bless her. She finally managed to figure it out and took each quite roughly out one by one. Foxes can't count so she came back to check there weren't any more. I loved how she had to keep double checking to make sure she'd got them all. I liked how you just carried on making lots of noise even though she was fearful, not making it too easy for her and as close to reality as possible. Well done to everyone involved 👏 👍 may you have enough funds to rescue many more creatures.

Why can’t this ever happen to me?! 😂 The little Fox 🦊 is sooooo sweet ❤❤❤

I thought she only had four babies! Wow! Good mother fox!❤😊

Funny how she knows it's a box and that there is a lid. She checks it out carefully looking for triggering device.

who decided to do construction work when the fox was trying to figure the shit out lol

Thank you people for such an act.🙏God BLESS

Beautiful what a beautiful start to my day thanks and God Bless precious babies

i love how she vaults each baby out with such force. and every single time the baby is like AAAAH and the moms like well another tuesday for me

Hello everyone! First of all..WOW! The response to this video and the amount of viewers it has reached is amazing. Thank you so much for the support and concerns for the animals in the comments. For those of you who went as far to research information and share it in the comments, that is amazing. To answer the most often asked question: we did retrieve all of the babies from under the deck and triple checked to make sure we did not leave one behind. Mother animals will always return one last time to ensure they got all of their young. (We see this a lot with mother raccoons as well which you can see in some of our other youtube videos.) Animals can't count which means they would not have know the number of babies they had in the first place! We truly appreciate the concern from everyone in the comments but want to assure you that a baby was not left behind!

This is my favorite animal of all time!! I love how she grabs them, throws them to the ground and off she goes!!!! Great momma

What a charming and emotional story of a mother worried about lost babies foxes. Thank you

I have so much sympathy for wild animals living in urban areas. Thanks for helping her!

There is nothing in this world like a mother’s love. ❤️

So you do home construction too. Hard and very rewarding work. Those were some ridiculously cute babies. Mom was so brave and concerned.

I loved how checked all four corners of the box lol checking for traps etc... kinda cool

Mama fox was not playing around. She got all her kids back! True legend.

I think you guys missed one. She came back at the end like “wait a damn min where’s Jeffrey”

You did great in freeing them and letting their Mum take them. Congratulations ❤❤❤

You are a great mommy, foxy! ❤

So smart. She's clearly nervous about the lid. Tried to dig under

The intelligence in her eyes. She looks directly at the camera numerous times and it just blew my mind. We have them in my neighborhood and my favorite time of year is when they have the babies and they make such cute noises. We have a natural wood and they stay in there most the time but every once in a while we get to see them, not that young though. Bless you for keeping them safe & letting them go. I am very lucky to live with so much wildlife around me and I’d miss them all, the osprey, the fox, the snakes and even skinks, skunks and raccoons. They bring me joy when they come to visit and I watch them from the window.

God bless you all for these things you do for the safety and betterment of wildlife!!❤

Cute great job 👏

She was so stressed. I was stressed for her. Like you can do it! Come on!!🙏

It amazes me how animals often make better parents than a lot of people do. I wish the mother and every single one of her cute little furry babies a long and happy fox life!! 🦊❤️

Those poor fox kits really got bumped when she pulled them out! But they sure are hardy! She was so thorough in coming back to double-check to make sure not one was left behind, ha, ha!

I've been feeding foxes in our garden for years, sometimes the whole family comes 😊 such beautiful creatures & mums always the best mumma❤

Humans: we need to handle baby animals with the outmost care Mama animals: yeet, come here

The unceremonious way mama fox yanks them out of the box was hilarious! Reminded me of my own no-messin’ mama!
