Even wild, red foxes are highly adaptive to almost any environment and very often come close to human settlements in order to procure food, mostly during the cold season. When these two fishermen went out on a completely frozen lake in Russia, to catch some fishes, the less thing they would expected was an intimate encounter with a wild red fox. 

However, shortly after they made themselves comfortable, an unexpected guest decided to pay them a short visit. Soon as one of the fishermen spotted a tiny fox wondering around them, he decided to call the wild animal. Surprisingly, the fox answered the call and got extremely closer. 

That moment, the fisherman offered her a snack, which she gladly accepted. Realizing how friendly the tiny fox is, the two men grabbed their cellphones to take photos and footages with the unlikely visitor. 

Naturally, the sly fox happily accepted the shooting session in the exchange of a few more treats. 

Watch the lovely encounter, bellow!

These type of interactions, between red foxes and humans, are very common, especially during the winter, when it gets extremely hard for these wild creature to find food.

Each year, more than 4 million animals are trapped and killed for their fur in the United States. Millions more are trapped and killed in the name of “livestock” and “game” protection and for “nuisance” animal control. 

Whatever the purpose, the consequences for the trapped animals are the same — pain, suffering, and death. Proponents argue that traps are humane and selective, and that trapping is tightly regulated, an important source of income for many people, and necessary for managing wildlife. These claims, however, are far from the truth. 

Despite what trappers would have you believe, animals frequently sustain severe injuries from being trapped. When not killed outright by the trap, animals can suffer physiological trauma, dehydration, exposure to severe weather, and predation by other animals until the trapper returns. 

When the trapper returns he usually clubs, suffocates or strangles the animal to death. Fur trappers rarely shoot trapped animals because bullet holes and blood reduce a pelt's value. The most commonly used trap in the U.S. is the steel-jaw leghold trap, a restraining trap with spring-loaded steel jaws that clamp on an animal's foot or leg when triggered. 

Leghold traps can cause severe swelling, lacerations, joint dislocations, fractures, damage to teeth and gums, self-mutilation, limb amputation, and even death. 

The steel-jaw leghold trap has been declared inhumane by the American Veterinary Medical 

Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and the National Animal Control Association, and has been banned or severely restricted by more than 80 countries and 8 U.S. states.

There is nothing quite like sitting in a chair, relaxing in front of the TV and petting the cat that is purring away on your lap. 

It’s one of those things in life that we not only appreciate, we couldn’t imagine living without it. Although you may have a cat in your life that is precious, would you think about treating a wildcat in the same way? 

Most of us enjoy watching them in movies or on TV or perhaps we may sometimes get out to see them at the local zoo. When it comes to walking up to a wildcat and scratching it behind the ears, however, we might not be so quick to do it. 

The thing is, that is what this woman did to a Lynx cat that was recently rescued. This woman has become quite attached to the Lynx and apparently, the feeling is mutual. When she walks into the room and begins petting him, he starts responding almost immediately. 

The sounds that he makes are some of the sweetest you will ever hear in your life and we can’t even imagine what it is like to hear this as a response to your touch every single day. You really need to hear that loving response for yourself.

The short video has gained over 27 million views ever since, and it’s pretty easy to understand why people fell in love with it! As you probably know, little babies could cry for any reason, and sometimes it is difficult, even for their mum to calm them down. 

Days ago, Hanna Burton experienced that feeling, but she also witnessed a scene she’d never thought she will. 

The woman was on the deck of her house in New Lexington, Ohio, gently attempting to comfort her newborn baby, Charlie who was crying. The little baby was laying on a blanket right on the deck with his caring mom on his side patiently trying to calm him down, when all of a sudden an unlikely guest came out of nowhere. 

A wild deer found her way out of the bushes and she came sprinting straight to Hanna and her baby. The woman immediately realized what the deer’s intentions were and she tried to assure her that everything is under control. 

The wild animal just followed her maternal instincts and rushed to help! The little baby was laying on a blanket right beside his caring mommy when all of sudden an unlikely guest came out from nowhere. A wild deer found her way into the bushes and she ran straight towards Hanna with panic in eyes, but he quickly realized what this animal’s intentions were-to help! 

The woman immediately realized what the deer’s intentions were and she tried to assure her that everything is under control. The wild animal just followed her maternal instincts and rushed to help! “Nope! Nope! Nope!,” the woman can be heard saying. “This is my baby. This one’s my baby. Hi, momma!” Then, she tries to explain to Charlie what just happened. 

“She thinks you’re her baby,” she told her little one. The mother caught the adorable experience on camera and shared it online. 

“When you almost have to throw down with a momma deer because your baby starts crying outside,” she captioned the viral footage.

While many of the user had their hearts melted upon watching the adorable video, some have criticised Hanna because of how she handled the situation. 

But she later explained everyone and even shared a photo, of how her little Charlie comfortably sleeping on the deck. 

The deer’s surprising reaction was also debated by people, with one person explaining: “Deers are protective, probably thought it was a smaller animal in distress. They’ll do everything to protect rabbits among others. They’re so kind-hearted!”
