GLYNDON, Md. -- The mystery may be over as one of the creatures roaming through central Maryland was finally captured on Saturday.
According to the veterinarians at Falls Road Animal Hospital, the animal was a male red fox. However, Dr. Michael Herko -- a vet at the animal hospital -- and the man who caught the fox say it is not the mysterious creature videotaped in July, but a relative.
Jay Wroe set a trap in his back yard after videotaping an animal that was roaming around. It was an animal he could not immediately identify.
The humane trap paid off on Saturday when Wroe went out to check the cage and saw from a distance that he had caught something.
"This one is definitely the baby to the mother because the one I filmed was obviously bigger than this thing," Wroe said.
Animal control officers took the creature to the Falls Road Animal Hospital. They determined it was a fox with sarcoptic mange.

People can't identify a red fox when they see one????
I barely recognized my Sheltie after he got his summer buzz cut!

I'm a Sheltie person too and I love the buzz cuts.
Poor creature.
I told ya it looked mangy.

That post was not for you.
As animal control officers approached the fox, it stood up on its hind legs, clutched its chest, and began shouting "OHH NOOOO!!!! THIS IS IT!!!!.....THIS IS THE BIG ONE!!!!!"
Sarcoptic mange is known as scabies in people. My nephew found this out the hard way, when, as a medical student, he volunteered to go work with the poor in Haiti, with his church group. The poor guy nearly itched himself into insanity.

Seriously, that poor fox looks absolutely miserable!
