A baby gray fox is a cute--and literal--handful for a staff member at the Wildlife and Fisheries Research and Educational Facility. Mature grays are among only a few animals that pair, bond and share in raising their young. This bright-eyed bundle joins deer, bobcats, turkeys, a bear, and other Magnolia State natives at the visitor-friendly research center on Blackjack Road.
