A stowaway fox travelled more than 3,000 miles to New York.

The red fox managed to sneak onboard a cargo ship which left Southampton, England, on 4 February and was discovered by the crew while travelling to the Port of New York and New Jersey.

The vessel reached its destination on 18 February and officials brought the creature to the Bronx Zoo the following day.

Despite his lengthy journey, the 11lb male fox, who is estimated to be two years old, appears to be in good health after early examinations.

Keith Lovett, the zoo’s director of animal programs, is quoted as saying: ““He seems to be settling in well. It’s gone through a lot.”

A long-term home for the fox will be found once he undergoes further health screening.
