Millennium Park fox family the latest Chicago wildlife to go viral

A young, dynamic family just moved into spacious property near the lake in downtown Chicago.

No, not the brood of some crypto-billionaire. A family of foxes has taken up residence in Millennium Park.

"They're displaying a lot of really positive natural behaviors, they're hunting birds and small mammals," said Liza Lehrer, assistant director of the Urban Wildlife Institute.

At least four small fox kits were seen loping around the park's Lurie Garden late Monday evening, jumping in and out of their den as surprised visitors stopped to sneak a picture of the furry family.
