A disused gravel quarry became a playground for a young fun loving fox and his family

THIS fox has certainly found the perfect way to have a belting time in a disused gravel quarry... He’s using an old conveyor belt as a slide – and keeps going back for another go.

This photograph, taken by British man Duncan Usher, shows how the clever four-month-old creature turned an old conveyor belt into a make-shift slide, before travelling down it twice. Mr Usher photographed the amusing sight close to Bursfelde, a hamlet in the German countryside.
