PHOTO: Incredible Picture Captured of Hudson Valley Wildlife

A stunning photo of wildlife in the Hudson Valley recently went viral.

Sometimes, there are just pretty amazing pictures that get posted online and stand out. I was looking on Facebook the other day and I noticed this incredible picture seemed to keep popping up in a local group all about the Hudson Valley. I couldn't stop staring at the picture because it looked so cool and it really shows just how amazing nature can really be.

What awesome picture of wildlife in the Hudson Valley was recently posted on Facebook?

The fox jumping over a stone wall (pictured above) was recently taken by a resident in Poughkeepsie and it looks like something straight out of a magazine. It's nice to see a healthy animal roaming around the area without a care in the world.

It's no surprise that the picture received a lot of great comments on Facebook. Some of the comments said:

• Wendell- "Beautiful photo"
• Melissa- "I didn't know they could fly"
• Linda- "Wheee"
• Marie- "That's a jump for sure"
• Anne- "So cool great shot"

It really is a cool photo....

Why are Foxes important to the Hudson Valley?

Foxes do play a pretty important role in the ecosystem and a lot of people don't know this but it's important to have them around. According to officials, Foxes help maintain a healthy balance for the food chain and they help control the population of rodents. When there's a healthy fox roaming around it decreases the risks of infected rodents and public contact with infected ticks which overall helps the goodness of public's health.

So be mindful and respectful of Foxes and thank you to the Hudson Valley resident who shared this sweet photo.
