Rabies warning at Arizona National Park after some animals found dead, others acting strangely

The National Park Service (NPS) has issued a warning about a possible rabies outbreak in Arizona after several foxes were found dead, and foxes and raccoons were reported acting strangely at Saguaro National Park. A hiker was also bitten by an unusually aggressive bobcat at the park last weekend, and the animal has yet to be found and captured.

None of the fox carcasses have yet been recovered for testing, but experts are advising caution. If you have physical contact with a wild animal at the park, you should notify staff and seek medical attention immediately.
