An ordinary day turned out to be quite an adventure for these truckers from Russia as they drove through a deserted dirt track. They had to stop and check out that weird small figure that seemed to approach them. At first, they thought it was an object, but when they got closer they saw it was a baby fox which was in terrible danger. They’ve filmed all of it and then shared it on YouTube, where it still melts everyone’s hearts. Check out the whole story and people’s reactions in the following images.

Litter can be harmful to animals because they may become entrapped or stuck in it. We think that the poor little kit was searching for food inside the jar and then realized that he just imprisoned itself inside a see-through glass prison. But the animal had an amazing idea that eventually helped!

1. Prevent Similar Incidents and Recycle

Another way of preventing these incidents is to wash the jars before throwing them away and to tightly secure the lids onto jars so that no other animals can get stuck inside them. Or we can also recycle them into beautiful pieces of art and save animals!
