Foxes on Hokkaido are great. Not only do they look fantastic in their fluffy winter coats, but they’re also very friendly, actively seeking out humans in case there’s a sandwich or fish going spare. This one had gone for a more traditional route, though, having caught a shrew and taken it off to eat in peace. Things didn’t quite go to plan though…
Lunch.
Where’s it going?
There you are!
I’ll get you.
Pounce for the cameras.
D’Oh!
Gotcha!
It’s under your nose.
After much more pouncing and digging, the fox gave up and looked sad at us until it was thrown some food.
