After hearing approaching people, a fox dashes for cover near Scofield. Prior to being disturbed, the fox was stealthily approaching an unseen smaller animal. Foxes are generally not a threat to humans, and are actually prey to some larger animals. The greatest threat that people may face from foxes is the possibility of rabies, which is sometimes carried by wild animals.
