They're known for their cunning, but this fox was left feeling less sly than usual after getting its head wedged inside the wheel off a parked car.
He was trapped for more than 45 minutes in Grays, Essex, after his mishap with a Volkswagen and had to wait patiently for the RSPCA to arrive.
When they were unable to set him free, the fire brigade was summoned.
Firefighters jacked up the car, removed the wheel and then set the animal free.
He is now recuperating in South Essex Wildlife Hospital.
An RSPCA officer said: 'It was stuck in a metal alloy - it got right the way through and couldn’t be released.
'So I called the fire brigade and they had to take the wheel off.
'It may have been there all night and it might have swollen up so it’s had to go in to be observed.'
