The fox was “captured and humanely euthanized” so that it could be tested for rabies. According to a spokesman for the local health service, it was an adult female.
Her young have been found and captured. Officials said they had not yet decided what to do with the animals.
No other foxes have been found on the grounds of the Capitol, but according to the health service, many foxes live in the city.
Officials are not taking action against healthy foxes, but the Capitol has asked citizens to report it when they see aggressive, sick or injured foxes.
