GLYNDON, MD -- All it took was a cage and a sirloin steak. That's how neighbors in Glyndon, Maryland, captured a strange looking animal.

Neighbors were calling it a monster, but it turns out it was just a fox, with some serious health problems.

The Red Fox has a severe case of scabies, which caused all its fur to fall out.

That, along with the small face and long tail, had neighbors struggling to identify the animal.

Animal experts are now working to rehabilitate the red fox.

Wildlife experts say where there's one sick fox there may be more, so neighbors have been warned to be on the look out.
