Fox freed from University of Hertfordshire floorboard

The RSPCA has said it was faced with a very odd sight when called to rescue a fox trapped in a floorboard.

Builders spotted the trapped animal’s head poking out of a hole in the floor while renovating an office.

It is thought the fox was trying to wriggle through a section of flooring when it became stuck at the de Havilland campus in Hatfield.

RSPCA animal welfare officer Kate Wright, who freed the animal, said: I just had these big eyes staring at me — via redwolf.newsvine.com
