“The RSPCA has been called out to rescue a flustered fox – which had been ‘outfoxed’ by a floorboard. Builders at the University of Hertfordshire spotted the trapped animal’s head poking out of a hole in the floor while renovating an office earlier this week. It is thought the fox was trying to wriggle through the section of flooring when it became stuck fast at the university’s de Havilland campus in Hatfield. RSPCA animal welfare officer Kate Wright, who was tasked with freeing the fox, said: “I have to admit that when I arrived I was faced with a very odd sight.” w/ photos
