A fox cub coming to people so they can help him

After centuries of being hunted for sport, foxes might have good reason to be wary of humans. But sometimes, when in desperate need of help, these oft-maligned animals evidently suspect that there are still enough good people willing to lend a hand.

In this video, apparently originating from Russia, several men are approached by a young fox that had gotten its head stuck in a jar. Though these animals in wild usually go to great lengths to avoid us, hours or perhaps days of no food and water may have driven this desperate creature to find assistance anywhere it could.

The orignal video was filmed in portait, but Reddit-user mrswarvey was kind enough to make it more easily watchable:

After being freed from the jar, the animal quickly scurries back into the forest, disoriented but seemingly still in decent shape. There's no telling how old the kit is, but the fact that it was foraging for food suggests that it is no longer dependent on its mother, hopefully improving its outlook for those of us concerned.

While this particular fox was lucky to find kindhearted folks to rescue it, humans are ultimately to blame for the dire straights it found itself in. Particularly in Spring, as a new generation of animals begins venturing out in search of a meal on their own, improperly disposed of food containers present an enticing opportunity. Sadly, however, such jars and packages can easily become lodged around an animal's neck, preventing them from eating or drinking.

And although humans are often around to help, one suspects that most animals aren't so lucky.

    Oh the drama of the evil humans and their jars. There are a hundred things he could've got his head stuck in. Lesson learned for the fox.

    That's great that they helped this poor critter but humans are sometimes to blame for leaving these kinds of things out in the wild.

    How sweet! Wanting out of that jar out weighed the fear of humans until the jar was off. Lol

    Now that's desperate! Lost his fear of humans until he got the jar off, lol. Good man for helping him. More people should be like that.

    what were those nice men saying?

    The guys are first trying to figure out what it was approaching them, and then one says surprisingly "Oh, this is a fox kit!" Then he asked his buddy to hold his phone and record the process while he took the jar off the kit’s head. His body comments “o, blip, you got into…” And then when the kit is leaving the people he says “And where is your thanks?” As hearing him the kit turns around as thought to say “Thank you!” And obviously the guy who saved the kit replies for the kit in a funny voice “Spasiba!” meaning “thanks.” :)
