Fox instantly regrets attempting to pounce on vole hiding in snow
LONDON -- Hunting for small creatures must be a tall order at the best of times. But it becomes vastly more complex when they're concealed beneath a huge blanket of snow.
Foxes that stalk the prairies in North America during wintertime know this only too well. During a segment of Planet Earth IIthe trials of one particular fox -- who was trying really, really hard to hunt a vole -- captured the nation's heart.

"The survival of both creatures depends on getting through to the ground."
And while the bison bludgeon through using their super-strong necks, the fox has a different (and not always entirely successful) approach:

Oh, and in case you were wondering, his repeated face-plants paid of. He manages to successfully nab a vole during the final lunge into an area that's been partially cleared by the bison.

You go, fox.
