A wild animal’s natural instinct is to steer clear of humans. But when a fox cub somehow got its head hopelessly stuck inside a glass jar recently in a Russian forest, there seemed no recourse but to seek a helping pair of human hands. Watch closely as the fox cautiously approaches hikers, and as one of them carefully pulls its furry head from the object and sets the critter free. (The version used with this post is the most widely-viewed, as it has been tweaked for a better viewing perspective.)
While the rescuers probably saved the critter from suffocating or starving to death, this was a human-caused problem that occurs all too frequently.
