A video of a tiny creature being rescued has been watched over 38.1 million times, becoming a massive hit on the internet. People on social media were amazed.

An unusual animal rescue was caught on camera and went viral on TikTok. A man who decided to help a stray kitten picked up a tiny creature from the road, but it turned out to be a baby fox.

A video on the Lucky Angel page shows a man picking up a small furry creature from the road, mistaking it for a kitten. But the video’s caption reveals the truth: it’s not a cat, but a baby desert fox, also called a fennec fox.

Many people on TikTok were surprised by this discovery. In the comments, users were shocked.

One person said, “I was sure it was a kitten.” Another wrote, “How did a baby fennec fox end up on an American road?” and a third said, “I saved a kitten, and a fox has grown up.”

The video then shows the man looking after the animal. He takes it home, washes it, wraps it in a warm blanket, and weighs it. The baby weighed only 40 grams. Later, the new owner fed it from a syringe and then bathed it.

Over time, the baby grew up and became noticeably cleaner and healthier. In one video, it plays with a toy bone; in another, it scares a cat. As it grows, the fox plays with its owner and cuddles on the sofa, showing it loves its owner.

The fennec fox is a small fox that lives in the deserts of North Africa. Its large ears are distinctive and help it dissipate heat and hear very well. It is not clear how this little one ended up so far from its native habitat.
