Several times last month, a family of what appeared to be four foxes was spotted among the dunes in the area of 134th Street. In addition, a deer was surrounded by police on a dune in north Ocean City over Memorial Day weekend after initially being spotted in a commercial parking lot. While it may seem odd in an urban area like Ocean City in the summer months, it’s certainly not unusual to see wildlife interacting with human neighbors on the barrier island.
In recent years, there have been numerous sightings of foxes, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, skunks, rabbits, snakes and even white tail deer in the increasingly developed areas of Ocean City. As the town has grown and reached build-out, much of the wild animals’ natural habitat has been developed, causing more and more interactions with their human counterparts.

How dare those wild animals come into OC! I bought or rented this place for the week and don't want any of those nasty, disease ridden animals near me or my family. Please shoot them before they harm us. On another note, we welcome the urban college invasion or whatever you call it...
Left bull on the beach on sun afternoon and there was a fox laying at the end of the street.
Lived on the shore for the past few decades, it's a normal thing to "expect" Deer on Rt 90 by OP. Nature will do what it does, that's what's great about it.
I was mauled by a wild rabbit last year in room 203. It was the wildest thing I'd ever experienced!
