Juniper, a popular Instagram fox with more than 87,000 followers, can see something on the bed that we humans can't see. And since white bedsheets look suspiciously like snow, she's prepared to dive underneath to get to it.

Her ill-fated attempt at snow diving was posted by her owner with the apt hashtag, #LandDolphin:

Juniper comes from a long line of tame foxes and is too accustomed to humans to live in the wild, hence her leaping around on a bed made for people and not foxes.

As @juniperfoxx seems to explain, very often to prospective fox owners, foxes are otherwise wild animals and not well suited to being pets, nor are humans well suited to caring for them. But as an alternative, the Instagram is regularly updated with photos of Juniper doing stuff.
