Rescued Andean Fox Run Run Welcomes Litter at Granja Porcón

Officials say the births mark a rehabilitation milestone at the Cajamarca facility.

Overview

  • - Staff photographed the recently born cubs this week, with caretakers reporting the offspring and both parents in good health.
  • - Peru’s forestry and wildlife authority (Serfor) has confirmed Run Run’s paternity after his 2021 rescue in Lima and 2022 transfer to the farm.
  • - The family lives in an approximately 140-square-meter enclosure replicating Andean habitat, and perimeter fencing was reinforced after the births.
  • - Caretakers observed Run Run carrying a cub in his mouth, a behavior noted as unusual in the enclosure setting.
  • - Most outlets report three cubs, though a Serfor-cited account notes at least four, and staff expect strong visitor interest during Carnival.
