Earlier this week a Lincoln resident spotted this wild animal during the daylight hours in her neighborhood near Adams School. At first it was unclear what kind of animal it is, but upon closer inspection, considering the shape of the head, dark colored legs and a light colored body, it appears to be a fox that has lost all of it's hair, possibly due to mange. It is never safe for an inexperienced person to approach or try to trap a wild animal. According to Lincoln Police Chief Paul Adams, if you see the animal in your neighborhood and feel threatened by it, you may contact the Lincoln Police Department for assistance.
