Baby fox hit by car finds new life in Turkey

A baby fox which had fractured its hind legs after being hit by a car in central Turkey is on the road to recovery.

A surgery to insert a platinum rod in her legs was performed successfully, Ismail Şentepe, a veterinarian, told Anadolu Agency on Tuesday.

The two-month-old kit was found wounded near a highway in Ortahisar town of Nevşehir province.

Şentepe said the animal had remained hungry long after the accident and will take at least 45 days to regain health. She will be released back to nature then.

Turkey is famous for treating animals with care. Many municipalities across the country have helplines that rescue wounded animals.
