Looks like the shrew will be voting for the Foxes Who Don’t Eat Shrews Party this year.

I was came across a foxes den while I was traveling, looking for some nature, in the nearby fields. I spent an entire magical morning with 4 cute fox cubs. At some point I noticed that one of the cubs start sniffing around, and a seconds after, he pulled this shrew (which he probably hid there earlier) out of the sand and started playing with it. After a while, the fox cub stood on the stone and threw the shrew in the air. The shrew landed in such a way that it seemed as if they were having a conversation, and he is asking the fox "Please don't kill me." It actually reminded me of a Scene from The Gruffalo story.
