Notably, the White House is the official workplace and residence of the US President. Along with the head of the nation, the First Lady and children of the President also reside at the White House. The institution also includes several personnel, including those designated as both personal and professional aide of the President of the United States.

The presence of fox in the White House premises raises concern. The carnivore, though uncommon to be sighted in Washington, is not rare. The animal could be spotted in some urban areas during the fall and spring seasons.
