Tiny fox approaches two men for help

The young red fox had got itself in a bit of a jam. There was only one thing for it - the notoriously shy creature was going to have to ask humans for help. It clearly couldn't resist having a look at a discarded glass jar and ended up with its head stuck inside.

In this short but sweet footage, the fox is spotted by two men on a Russian dirt road.
Instead of running away, like a wild fox normally would, the trapped fox scurried up to the men. One of the men reached down to grab the jar, which made the creature wriggle to try to escape. But the fox quickly realised that tactic wouldn't work and stood still for its rescuer.

The man, who appeared to be wearing camouflage army gear, grabbed the fox by the scruff of its neck and pulled the jar away with his other hand. In a flash, the fox made the most of its freedom and ran away.

The man joked in Russian: 'Where is the thank you?'
He then said: 'Thank you' in a higher-pitched voice, pretending to be their bushy-tailed friend.
The other man pointed out: 'He would have died that way.'
