Fox gets head stuck in a tyre and gets rescued by officers. View adorable post

Authorities in Connecticut intervened to save a fox that had been discovered with its head stuck through the centre of a tyre that had been dumped. According to a Facebook post from the Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police, officers were dispatched to the state's northwest region in response to a complaint about a fox. When they got there, they saw the animal's head poking out of the rim of a discarded automobile tyre. The fox became caught after sticking its head through the gap while probably following a little mouse, according to the share.

The Facebook post has been shared by the Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police, with a hilariously witty caption. It reads, “In our first call Mr. Fox who was likely chasing a small rodent found himself in a situation that was not very conducive to successful hunting. With help from the homeowners and a little baby oil, our wardens were able to safely free Mr. Fox. Although I’m sure he was ‘tyre’d out, he quickly ran into the tall grass unharmed!”
