Two possibly rabid foxes were put down at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum after a staff member was bitten. The museum staffer was not injured, but the museum closed for the day to search for and capture the foxes. This incident follows a rise in rabies cases in Southern Arizona, with experts attributing the increase to spring. The museum hopes to reopen the next day, while continuing to monitor the grounds for abnormal animal behavior.
