The shutdown fox may soon be without a home at the White House, but it seems the woodland creature has been venturing beyond 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. (Or there are multiple foxes running around Washington, D.C. but that’s not as fun.)

Reader Justyna Maslowska sent in photos of a fox hanging out near the World War II Memorial on Saturday, October 5, while Danielle Smith sent in photos of a furry Vulpes vulpes near the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial on Monday.

Seeing foxes in D.C. outside of Rock Creek Park is not uncommon, as the Washington Post reported earlier this year. As Scott Giacoppo,vice president of external affairs for the Washington Humane Society, explained at the time, foxes post no threat to humans unless they are sick: “We would advise people to admire their beauty. Take a picture. Never approach them.”

While Giacoppo said today that the WHS doesn’t respond to calls on National Park Service land, he’s not surprised to see foxes there: “There is enough wooded area over there to sustain the species and with the number of small rodents (rats, squirrels, chipmunks etc.) there is an abundance of food available for them.”

Request for comment about fox protocol from a National Park Service spokeswoman (who is back from being furloughed!) has yet to be returned.

Update: NPS spokeswoman Carol Johnson says in an email, “We pretty much leave wildlife alone unless they are causing a problem. (Natural resource protection is part of our mission.) Our maintenance work usually keeps foxes at bay at WWII, but the shutdown made it a little more inviting for them.”

Second update: Here’s a photo of a fox eating a squirrel near the Reflecting Pool around 7 a.m. last week, courtesy of Allison Gittings.
