(KSL News) -- A fox bit a boy in Southern Utah while he was camping with his family.

Testing of the animal confirmed the fox had rabies. The boy is undergoing treatments for the disease and is expected to be okay.

Wildlife officials say this is a good reminder to watch wildlife from a distance. They say even a healthy animal will attack if it feels threatened.
