Now this is one unexpected international traveler.

Officials said the vessel had traveled roughly 3,400 miles before the surprise passenger was finally spotted on board.
The adventurous fox eventually made its way to a much more comfortable landing spot — the Bronx Zoo, where wildlife experts are now caring for the unexpected visitor.
Exactly how the fox managed to board the massive cargo ship in the first place remains a mystery. Officials say they still have no clear idea how the animal slipped aboard and turned the vessel into its own form of transatlantic public transportation.
Still, the journey makes for a remarkable tale of survival — and one very determined fox.
