In a bizarre and amusing incident at a US national park, a crafty fox was caught on camera making off with a hiker's trainer. The sneaky theft has since gone viral, leaving both visitors and wildlife enthusiasts entertained.
The incident occurred when an unsuspecting hiker left their shoes unattended for just a moment—only to turn around and find one missing. A quick scan of the area revealed the culprit: a fox trotting away with the trainer firmly clamped in its jaws.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as both hilarious and surreal. "I couldn't believe my eyes," said one visitor. "The fox looked so determined, like it had planned the whole thing."
Park rangers later confirmed that foxes in the area are known for their curiosity, but this level of boldness is unusual. "They’re opportunistic animals, but stealing a shoe is definitely a first," one ranger remarked.
Thankfully, the hiker was able to recover their shoe—though it now bears a few tooth marks as a souvenir of the wild encounter.
This lighthearted moment serves as a reminder to always keep an eye on belongings when exploring nature—even the wildlife might have a sense of mischief!
