It was likely that all the earlier activity had frightened the mother fox away. The noise, movement, and human presence around the drain probably made her wary, keeping her at a distance for safety. Despite their patience and hope, the rescuers saw no sign of the mother, even after waiting a long time. The kits, vulnerable and disoriented, cried out for their mother's comfort. This scene revealed the uncertainty and fragility of wildlife when faced with human disturbance.
